A police van was set on fire as hundreds of people took to the streets in the Chilean capital on Friday in fresh protests against the killing of a street juggler in alleged firing by cops last week.

The protesters in the central Plaza Italia in Santiago de Chile carried placards and shouted slogans against the officer, who allegedly shot dead Francisco Martínez, 27, during a routine identity check last week.

The killing sparked a wave of protests and calls for reforms of the militarized police force.


He is no Pinochet.

Chile secured enough COVID-19 vaccinations for everyone in the country.
