Mass protest in Santiago against abuses of Pinochet era
[AFP News]  AFP News8 September 2019

Thousands of demonstrators poured into the streets of Santiago on Sunday to honor the victims of General Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship, in a march that started peacefully but ended in violence.

The protest began in central Santiago, with many demonstrators carrying red carnations and holding photos of loved ones who were killed or disappeared during the Pinochet years.

Police at first protectively lined the route as marchers proceeded to a memorial to Pinochet's victims at the city's General Cemetery.
