Police injured, hundreds detai
At least 32 police officers were injured and 819 people were detained as violent protests that lasted into early Friday swept across Chile's capital and several other cities, the government reported.
Deputy Interior Minister Felipe Harboe said one police officer was in serious condition after being shot while trying to stop a group of demonstrators looting a Santiago supermarket.
The violence broke out Thursday morning when hundreds of high school students took to the streets in downtown Santiago and other cities to mark "The Day of the Young Combatant," in which Chilean leftists commemorate two young brothers killed by police in 1985 under the 1973-90 dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet.
Overnight, young demonstrators blocked traffic with flaming barricades in several neighborhoods, and police said some protesters apparently were armed with automatic weapons. Several stores were looted.
The reasons for the new protests weren't clear. Chile's government is now headed by Socialist Michelle Bachelet, herself a former prisoner of Pinochet's regime.
Some protesters chanted slogans against a widely criticized public transportation system. One bus was burned and many others damaged in the protests. Chile last year also saw massive student protests over an education law.
One masked young demonstrator in a school uniform who identified himself only as "Simon" said the protests were over "the situation and for our rights"
Former Santiago Gov. Marcelo Trivelli said the protests "appear to reflect a general sensation of social insatisfaction in the country. I think people are somehow showing they want changes and some express that with anger."
