CHILE: Details of new anti-terrorist law emerge
The government of President Michelle Bachelet has decided to start releasing details of its proposed changes to the anti-terrorist legislation inherited from the dictatorship led by General Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990).

Even this may prove optimistic, given a supreme court ruling that has drawn attention to a new set of legal hurdles.
