"There is a violation of human rights, every day, it is not something that seems, it is something that happens. That is why we need international collaboration, strong statements about what is happening in our country with this state of virtual siege, "said Constanza Schonhaut, a collaborator at the National Institute of Human Rights ( Indh), with obvious anguish after checking, during a night tour of police stations and communes, the repetition of crimes committed by the state through its armed forces and security.

45 people lost their sight in the last week because of gunshots. What Piñera called the war fell on one side. And no, it's not a war. "Can we talk about the dictatorships of the 21st century, just as we are talking about the left of the 21st century?", Asks Schonhaut. "I think we need to analyze it because we see state terrorism in action, lost eyes, lifelong injuries, torture … and all we do not know, because that occurs at night, in vulnerable communes, areas that we do not cover.There is a president at the head, yes, but send the army against the protest.
