SANTIAGO - Chilean police and soldiers backed by their commanders have carried out “generalized” attacks on people protesting over inequality with the intention of “punishing and harming” them, Amnesty International said in a report published on Thursday.
She said they had been “shocked” to find evidence of excessive force used in Chile, widely seen as one of the region’s most democratic and stable nations. A spokesman for the Chilean police said all allegations that had been formally reported would be investigated. “There was an intention to punish people and this came not just from the police and military on the streets but also those under whose command they were,” she said.
“If the protocols were not complied with - and I believe that it is possible that in some cases they were not - that will be investigated by prosecutors and will be punished by the courts of justice. That’s how a democracy works, that’s how a rule of law works,” he said.
