The sheer brutality of his crimes are incredible, after his Coup he sent armed troops to search the capital for left wing sympathisers. Students, writers, Catholics, indigenous people, and union workers were rounded up, and sent to torture centers, set up in Santiago. These were sometimes police cells or army barracks, but more often they were converted homes, hotels or offices. His most infamous was that he converted the international soccer stadium into a massive holding centre, the people were split into two lines, ones for death and ones for interrogation. The ones in the death line were taken to a field and shot, while the ones for interrogation were often tortured for weeks before being released. At the height of the repression he had over sixty of these working around the clock. He practically turned the whole capital into one giant [[Concentration Camp|concentration camp]].

He also ran his secret police (DINA) which was renowned for there cruelty, torturing prisoners with terrible methods such as electric shocks, breaking their bones with hammers, forcing them to play Russian Roulette, crushing their legs under car wheels, melting there flesh with flame throwers, pushing them out of helicopters and forcing them to commit [[cannibalism]] and eat the flesh of fellow murdered prisoners. Other methods specialized in humiliation and depravity, such as forcing their heads into buckets filled with excrement, having women raped by men with Venereal diseases, one unit was even notorious for forcing there prisoners to have sex with dogs.

Quite often the methods of death were particularly brutal as well; some victims were tied to railway tracks, others were loaded into helicopters and pushed out into the icy depths of the Pacific Ocean, others were sent to death camps in the Atacama desert. Others were blow to pieces with dynamite or loaded into planes and forced out into the Andes, higher than anyone ever went.
