Arnoldo Camu Veloso (1937—September 24, 1973) was a Chilean lawyer and socialist political activist. He was a member of the Political Bureau of the Socialist Party of Chile.[1] Camu was killed in the street, allegedly by Chilean government agents shortly following the 1973 Chilean coup d'état.[2] [3] He had been hiding since 11 September and was 36 years old during the incident.[4]
