Michele Bachelet at the Congress for International Co-operation and Disarmament camp at Daylesford.

Angela and daughter Michele Bachelet were exiles from Chile and were en route to the Chilean government in exile in Rome. Angela told how her husband, who was a high-ranking officer in the Chilean Air Force, had been accused of siding with Allende and being a communist; he was taken and tortured. In an attempt to get a confession from Angela, Michele was taken and also tortured. The husband finally died from torture and Michele was released. She gave a harrowing account of how she was tortured -- it left the audience stunned and silent.
