Haven of Refuge

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In a series of six programmes Robert Rowe meets refugees from around the world who have found sanctuary in the UK.
1: Chile's Political Exiles After the violent overthrow of President Allende's democratic government in September 1973, thousands of supporters of the old regime were put in prison. Their only hope of freedom was to seek exile, and about 3,000 of them came here. Why did they choose the UK - and what has happened to them here? Nine years after the coup ROBERT ROWE reports on the changing outlook of Chileans in Britain.
