Chilean president speaks of her torture under Pinochet
Chilean President Michelle Bachelet made rare public remarks Thursday on her detention and torture by the country's former military regime, saying "maturity" had helped her reconcile with the past.
Bachelet was arrested in 1975 by late dictator Augusto Pinochet's political police and held at the infamous Villa Grimaldi interrogation and torture center in the capital Santiago -- an experience she discussed in an interview for a program on TV network Chilevision.
