Refer to the news network on February 22According to Reuters on February 20**, a Chilean appellate court ordered on the 20th to reopen an investigation into the death of left-wing poet and Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda in 1973 shortly after the military coup seized power.

In a statement, the court said it was hearing the pleas of Neruda's family and the Communist Party of Chile. The statement added that the investigation into Neruda's death was not "thorough" enough and that some measures were still needed to help "set the record straight".

Last year, an international panel of experts submitted a highly anticipated report to the San Diego Court of Appeals on the death of the author of the love poetry collection "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair."

The documents handed over by the Group of Experts include laboratory reports from Canada and Denmark, as well as reports from review experts. The specifics of the expert's report were not disclosed.

In its statement, the appellate court said it had also ordered a handwriting test, which was analysed by experts from McMaster University in Canada and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, as well as a review of documents and expert statements.

In 2017, a group of foreign forensic experts suggested that Neruda's death was not related to cancer alone, as officially claimed, and that it could not be ruled out that his death in the early years of Pinochet's rule was related to a "third party".
