Aproape 300 de persoane au fost arestate în Chile în timpul protestelor care marchează aniversarea loviturii de stat a lui Pinochet

Chilean authorities arrested nearly 300 individuals during protests commemorating victims of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship. The demonstrations coincided with the 53rd anniversary of the 1973 coup against President Salvador Allende. For the first time since 1990, there were no official commemorations. Thousands protested against the military regime, which resulted in over 3,200 deaths or disappearances. The arrests included minors and foreigners, with a significant increase compared to last year. Protests turned violent, with clashes between demonstrators and police, who used tear gas and water cannons. Key figures, including Isabel Allende and Gabriel Boric, participated in the main demonstrations at significant historical sites.
