People celebrate the death of former Chilean dictator, Gen. Augusto Pinochet in central Madrid, Sunday, Dec.10, 2006. Pinochet, the fierce anti-communist dictator who ruled Chile with an iron fist from 1973 to 1990, died Sunday from heart complications, the Santiago Military hospital reported. He was 91.

I assume that the portrait being held is of former Chilean President Salvador Allende who was killed when Pinochet came to power during a coup in 1973.
