Diana Frida Arón Svigilisky (15 February 1950 – 10 January 1975) was a Chilean journalist[1] and a member of the Revolutionary Left Movement (Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria, MIR).
[3] Arón was a member of the Revolutionary Left Movement and part of the editorial team of its newspaper, El Rebelde ("The Rebel").
On November 18, 1974, she was arrested by agents of the then-active secret police of Chile, the Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional (DINA), and taken to Villa Grimaldi, where she was tortured by Miguel Krassnoff, who was seen leaving the torture room with bloody hands, screaming "a Marxist, and on top of that, a Jew!".
[5] According to her partner, Luis Muñoz González, who had also been captured and tortured, a Captain of the army informed him that Arón had been killed on 10 January 1975, after trying to escape.
In 2004, five members of the DINA –Manuel Contreras, Miguel Krassnoff, Osvaldo Romo, Pedro Espinoza and Marcelo Moren– were sentenced in terms ranging from 10 to 15 years to be served out at the Punta Peuco Prison for their involvement in her kidnapping.
