Protester Killed At Chile’s Anti-Pinochet Protests

A 26-year-old protester was killed during a brutal crackdown by Chile’s notorious Carabineros riot police in Santiago. Thousands gathered for the annual protests leading up to the anniversary of the 1973 US-backed Pinochet coup on September 11. The protest, led by relatives of those who suffered under Pinochet’s brutal regime, was a call for justice and accountability.

Eyewitnesses say the attacker who fatally stabbed the young protester came from the lines of the Carabineros shouting, “I am a counter-protester.” Two others were injured in the attack, and the assailant is now in custody. The Carabineros, infamous for their blurred lines with far-right groups, are known to operate on the margin of law.

Water cannons, tear gas, and forceful arrests were unleashed on the crowds, while Molotov cocktails and stones flew back in response. This escalation marks the second consecutive year that the government, led by self-proclaimed leftist Gabriel Boric, has met commemorative protests with state violence.
