Demonstrators protect themselves from a riot police water cannon spraying over them during clashes with riot police following a protest against Chilean President Sebastian Pinera's government, in Santiago, on December 18, 2019, two months after protests started. Chilean police responded to recent mass protests in a “fundamentally repressive manner”, resulting in serious abuses including unlawful killings and torture, UN investigators said Friday. Chile's crisis erupted over metro fare hikes but quickly escalated into the most severe outbreak of social unrest since the end of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet nearly 30 years ago.
