More about Chilean protests...

Every year there is a left-wing demonstration on the Day of the Young Combatant, a day that commemorates the death of two students during a 1985 protest, who were killed by the police. This years demonstration was much more disruptive than normal because it happened to be on the same day as a protest against the new transportation system. Thirty-eight police officers were injured and over 800 people, most of whom were students, were arrested.
