Original article: Memoria en la Suprema: AFEP entrega a Chevesich libros sobre ni\u00f1as, ni\u00f1os y adolescentes ejecutados en dictadura<\/a><\/p>\n The president of the Supreme Court<\/a>, Gloria Ana Chevesich, met with the board of the Family Association of Executed Politicals (AFEP) in a gathering marked by institutional recognition and historical memory.<\/p>\n The meeting held significant symbolic weight as it was the first time that the organization was received by Chevesich since she became the first woman to lead the Judiciary in over two centuries of history, officially assuming her role on January 6, 2026.<\/p>\n This meeting highlighted the memorial work that the organization has sustained over the years, focusing on individuals who were victims of state terrorism during Augusto Pinochet\u2019s dictatorship, many of whom were children and adolescents.<\/p>\n The highlight of the meeting was the formal presentation of two publications encapsulating years of research and testimonial collection. These works include \u00abBreaking the Silence,\u00bb dedicated to children executed during the civil-military dictatorship, and a second book specifically focusing on adolescents who met a similar fate. According to the organization, these books meticulously document the cases of around 300 victims, with ages ranging from 0 to 20 years.<\/p>\n Delivering these books did not just serve as a symbolic gesture, but marked an act of transferring institutional memory to the leader of the Chilean justice system.<\/p>\n The books, which compile names, ages, circumstances of executions, and the legacy of struggle from their families, now serve as a tangible reminder of the outstanding debts in human rights.<\/p>\n At the end of the meeting, AFEP president Alicia Lira spoke to the press, describing the meeting\u2019s tone with the judiciary\u2019s highest authority. Lira emphasized the unprecedented nature of this audience and the willingness shown by Chevesich, whom she defined as a \u00abjust minister.\u00bb<\/p>\n \u201cIt was the first time we were with her, getting to know her in person. We had only heard about her, and the meeting was very emotional. We wanted to congratulate her for being the first woman president of the Supreme Court, but as we told her, it\u2019s not just about being a woman, but also about her career as a lawyer, judge, and minister. She is a just minister, and it was important for us to let her know our existence and our work,\u201d she stated in comments reported by the Judicial Power<\/a>.<\/p>\n The social leader elaborated on the nature of the dialogue with Chevesich, highlighting the interest shown by the magistrate regarding the work of the organization.<\/p>\n \u201cShe wanted to know about our existence, how we are formed, and what we do. It was a very emotional and warm meeting, and we sincerely hope and lend her all our strength to do her work well,\u201d she affirmed.<\/p>\nThe president of the country\u2019s highest court received two significant books from the AFEP board: \u00abBreaking the Silence\u00bb about children executed during the dictatorship, and a second volume focused on executed adolescents, documenting the cases of approximately 300 victims aged between 0 and 20 years.<\/span><\/h4>\n
