Julio Iglesias songs used to 'torture' prisoners in Pinochet regime

Music played at high volume during torture sessions was part of the psychological suffering endured by some of his thousands of political opponents who were detained when Pinochet seized power in 1973. According to former prisoners, Harrison's My Sweet Lord, the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's film A Clockwork Orange and songs by Spanish crooner Iglesias were played for days at a time. Dr Katia Chornik, a researcher from the University of Manchester, has investigated the use of music in Pinochet's notorious torture houses, concentration camps and prisons. One former prisoner told how her jailers would sing the Italian pop hit Gigi l'Amoroso especially for her as they were taking her to the interrogation room, and carry on whilst they were torturing her with the recording on in the background.
