2008 marks the centenary of Salvador Allende's birth. Celebrations of his legacy will take place around the world by various social, cultural, political and grassroots organisations.

Salvador Allende Gossens (June 26 1908 - September 11 1973) was President of Chile from 1970 to 1973. He died in the Presidential Palace during the brutal military coup which installed a military dictatorship in Chile, supported by the CIA and USA Government on September 11, 1973 using torture, exile, disappeared and killed thousands of people during 17 years of Pinochet dictatorship rule.

Allende dedicated his life to the cause of poor and indigenous people in Chile, Latin America and the World.
