Initially presented as an idyllic Christian community, it later became known for its dark history of human rights abuses and criminal activities. The enclave had ties to the regime of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.Colonia Dignidad was accused of numerous human rights violations, including torture, child abuse, and forced labor. SchΓ€fer, the leader, was implicated in these crimes. The colony also served as a center for political repression during Pinochet's rule. In the late 20th century, the atrocities within the colony gained international attention.The compound was raided in 2005, and SchΓ€fer was arrested.
