This weekend is the International Festival for Human Rights (Festival Internacional Derechos Humanos Para Tod@s). The Chilean Commission on Human Rights (CCHDH) and the Chilean Commission for Youth Rights (CODEJU) have been defending and promoting human rights in Chile for decades. 

As this year marked the 40th year commemorating Pinochet’s military coup, this cultural event is just one of the many activities promoting human rights organized by these organizations to raise awareness, especially among the youth, and give homage to the victims of the dictatorship.

Here is the line-up for the concert:
