Water cannon & tear gas | Protests at anniversary of indigenous activist’s killing in Chile

Police officers used tear gas and water cannon as they tried to disperse protesters gathered to mark the 13th anniversary of the police killing of a Mapuche student activist in Santiago, Chile. Demonstrators were also bashing police vehicles with shields and other objects. Matias Catrileo was a 23-year-old member of the indigenous Mapuche community, who was shot dead by police while participating, with other indigenous activists, in the occupation of an estate belonging to Jorge Luchsinger, a Chilean landowner.
