Chilean protests continue, crackdowns intensify

Civil unrest in Chile has continued for over a month now, originally in repsonse to a hike in subway fares. Now, the protests are widespread, centering on political and economic inequities experienced in Chile.

Human rights abuses have proliferated without consequence.
