UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Sept. 10 — Amnesty International charged today that the torture of political prisoners was continuing in Chile a year after the coup d'état that overthrew President Salvador Allende Gossens.

The accusations were made in an 80‐page report published here to coincide with the first anniversary of the coup tomorrow.

A Chilean spokesman here announced, meanwhile, that Orlando Letelier, former Ambassador to the United States, had been freed by the military Government, He said the 43‐year‐old Mr. Letelier, a Socialist who had been held a year in prison, had left Chile and was now in Venezuela.

In a preface to the Amnesty International report, Martin Ennals, the organization's secretary general, said, “The death roll of victims is unprecedented in Latin‐America and there is little indication that the situation is improving or that a return to normality is intended.”
