From their website: "The Human Rights International Project was established to work for human rights and against impunity in Chile. An NGO initially established by Chileans refugees and human right activists in London, today it counts with the participation of helpers from across the world. Central to the work of the Human Rights International Project is the process of gathering, archiving and making available all information concerning human rights violations during the military dictatorship in Chile; to support the prosecution of human right violators; to develop, by means of national and international projects, awareness about human rights, and to work for the rescue of the historical memory and the remembrance of the victims."

According to the Rettig Report, 1,248 people were "disappeared" by the Pinochet Regime, but some say there are many more.
