New curfew in several cities of Chile decreed by protests

epa07941795 Protesters participate in a demonstration at the central Plaza Italia, in Santiago, Chile, 22 October 2019. A new curfew was decreed for the night in different cities of Chile and is the fourth consecutive in Santiago, Valparaiso and Concepcion (south) since the protests that left 15 people dead, including four foreigners from Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. Thousands of people in Chile returned to the streets on 22 October, for the fifth consecutive day, to protest against the Government amidst the states of emergency and the new curfews already decreed in several areas of the country. Unrest, sparked by a hike in metro fares, quickly morphed into a wider protest against social inequality. EPA-EFE/ALBERTO VALDES
