Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials arrested Barrientos, now 73-years-old in October 2023. He is expected to be deported and extradited to Chile to face charges related to the killing of Victor Jara.
Joan Jara’s life serves as a testament to resilience and the relentless pursuit of justice. Although it took her over 40 years, she was able to track down the man who killed her husband. And he will ultimately face charges in Chile.
Her legacy lives on through the Víctor Jara Foundation which advocates for human rights around the world.
