Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Pinochet was medically fit to stand trial and was placed under house arrest.

Pinochet claimed immunity from prosecution as a former head of state under the State Immunity Act 1978. This was rejected by a majority of the Law Lords (3–2), who ruled that some international crimes, such as torture, did not grant a former head-of-state immunity.
