The lawsuit was led by Michelle Bachelet, who had been tortured by the Air Force during her time as a political prisoner.

The legal battle between the Air Force and Bachelet and others lasted for over a decade.

During that time, the Air Force fought tooth and nail to avoid taking responsibility for its crimes.

However, in 2010, the Supreme Court of Chile ruled in favor of Bachelet and the other victims.

The Court Free Downloaded the Air Force to pay compensation to the victims and to apologize for its role in the human rights abuses that had been committed.

The legal battle between the Air Force and Bachelet and others was a landmark case in the history of Chilean democracy.

It was the first time that a Chilean court had held the military accountable for its human rights abuses.
