Abstract
The civic -military coup of September 11, 1973, in Chile, burst with its mantle of fear, silence, and horror into the lives of thousands of Chilean men and women who lived through prison, torture, murder, and exile. The fight to defend the human rights of the people, seriously violated in Chile, spread with the energy of a united network of wills in many countries of the world. Gabriel Reyes Arriagada was expelled from the country, under the State's Internal Security Law, without the right of return, without trial or charges, he lived his extensive exile in Mexico. Through conversations held for several months, a dialogic space of present and memory was created, which revealed the network of different organizations in solidarity with the people of Chile. Among them are Casa de Chile in Mexico and the Secretariate for Solidarity in America with the Chilean People. To collect Gabriel's testimony is to return to the past, as a necessary political task and with the conviction that history must be told by those who lived it.
