A relative of people who went missing during Augusto Pinochet's regime places candles in a public square during the anniversary of the 1973 military coup, in Valparaiso city, about 75 miles (121 km) northwest of Santiago September 11, 2009. Every year on September 11, Chile marks the anniversary of the coup d'etat that ushered in a 17-year dictatorship under former General Augusto Pinochet. More than 3,000 people died or disappeared because of political violence during Pinochet's rule between 1973-1990. The poster reads "Where are they".
