Court ruling on exiles
NZPA-Reuter Santiago Chile’s Supreme Court has overturned a lower court ruling which would have allowed two leading Communists opposed to the military Government to return from exile, says State television.
It said the Court had allowed by four votes to one a Government appeal against an earlier decision in favour of Dr Jaime Insunza and Leopoldo Ortega, exiled in April under controversial extraordinary
powers. The Supreme Court agreed with the Government that a transitional article 24 of the 1980 constitution allowed President Augusto Pinochet to act against those who threatened internal peace without interference from the courts. There was no immediate word on whether Dr Insunza and Mr Ortega, who returned to Chile immediately after the earlier ruling, would be exiled again.
