Chilean demonstrators clash with police over death of Argentine protester
Demonstrators clashed with riot police in Santiago to demand answers surrounding the death of a young protester who went missing in Argentina nearly three months ago.
Demonstrators blocked the street outside the Argentine Embassy in the capital, before breaking windows at the Consulate next door. Several demonstrators tried to set fire to the Embassy and vandalised a bus nearby.
Police in armoured vehicles used water cannon to disperse protesters.
The march comes days after Santiago Maldonado's family identified his body. Investigators discovered a body last week in the Chubut River in Patagonia, near where the activist was last seen at an indigenous rights protest on August 1.
Some government opposition and rights groups have said state security forces took Maldonado, a 28-year-old craftsman, after police reportedly clashed with Mapuche Indians who claim territory throughout southern Argentina and Chile.
