also from the same obit: "After the Allende government fell and Mr. Corvalán fled, the military authorities, hunting him, seized his son, Alberto. Alberto was tortured but remained silent and died of his wounds. Recent obituaries in the Chilean press said Mr. Corvalán was survived by a wife and an unspecified number of daughters. Mr. Corvalán was soon found and imprisoned. In October 1973, reports that he was about to be executed set off a raucous debate at the United Nations. The Chilean delegate insisted that no sentence had yet been imposed. Mr. Corvalán was later convicted of high treason. In 1974, while being held at a Chilean prison on Dawson Island in the Strait of Magellan, the Soviet Union awarded him the Order of Lenin and made his release a cause célèbre by repeatedly bringing up the subject in international forums. With the United States acting as intermediary, a prisoner swap was arranged. Mr. Bukovsky, who had documented that nonconformists were being sent to Soviet psychiatric hospitals, was released by the Kremlin and settled in England. Mr. Corvalán, released by Chile, went to Moscow and there lived the life of a V.I.P. According to some reports, he had plastic surgery and returned to Chile incognito in the 1980s to organize resistance to the Chilean government." so a spirit of solidarity is called for as well.
