Daniel Zamudio Memorial

In March 2012, 24-year-old Daniel Zamudio was attacked in Parque San Borja in central Santiago because he was gay. He died of his injuries weeks later. The murder shocked Chile, and in July 2012 Congress passed the anti-discrimination law that had been stalled for years. It is still known as the Ley Zamudio. A memorial in the park marks the site. It is a small, quiet place of remembrance and is open whenever the park is. Activists and visitors gather here on the anniversary in March and around Santiago's Pride march.
