Talk:Virgilio Paz Romero

British Concentration camps

Tazmaniacs, you've added some detail which includes reference to British concentration camps in 1975. I don't know what that's all about but I assume it refers to the Maze (HM Prison) - these weren't concentration camps were they?--Zleitzen 22:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Background

A {{Section OR}} tag has been in place in the Background section since December 2012. The section strings together a secondary source that doesn't support what the material states along with an unattributed primary source document that also does not support what the material states. I imagine that some of this may be salvageable with the inclusion of reliable secondary sources, so I am removing it from the article and preserving it here for future reference:

According to the National Security Archive, Virgilio Paz met DINA agent Michael Townley and Italian terrorist Stefano Delle Chiaie in Madrid, in 1975, to prepare, with the help of Francisco Franco's secret police, the murder of Christian Democrat Bernardo Leighton. Leighton and his wife were severely injured on October 5, 1976, in Rome [1]. On an undated letter to Augusto Pinochet, Michael Townley advised him that Virgilio Paz Romero was taking photographs of British internment camps in Northern Ireland in 1975 as a DINA assignment. The photographs were to be used by the Chilean government at the United Nations in New York to discredit the United Kingdom and accuse them of human rights violations. But they arrived too late to be used, and were finally published in El Mercurio.
