- Story Text: Chilean high school students faced riot police on the streets of Santiago on Thursday (September 1) to demand better conditions at public secondary schools.
Water cannons were used to disperse protesters, with defiant demonstrators responding by throwing Molotov cocktails.
In a video distributed by Santiago municipality, hooded demonstrators were shown burning a Chilean flag during the protest.
Students marched through the streets of Santiago's downtown to demand free transportation, comprehensive sex education, guaranteed internships in technical high schools, and universal access to all higher education levels.
The protest occurred three days before Chileans vote to approve or reject the new constitution on Sept. 4
