  • Story Text: Hundreds of Chilean men and women have undressed as
    part of an anti-war demonstration in conservative Santiago.



    About 300 Chileans stripped naked on Saturday (March
    01) to protest a war on Iraq, demanding President Ricardo
    Lagos vote against the United States in the U.N. Security
    Council.

    In a park area cordoned off by police, a mostly young
    crowd of bare-bottomed men and women jumped up and down and
    shouted "No to war. Yes to peace," then held up their hands
    and sang popular Latin American protest songs.

    "Lagos, Cut the crap. Chile says no to war," said a large
    red banner.

    Chile, one of six "swing votes" on the Security Council,
    is undecided on whether to support a draft resolution backed
    by the United States and Britain that would authorize military
    action against Iraq, which Washington suspects of hiding
    weapons of mass destruction.

    The protesters later put their clothes on and marched to
    the presidential palace. Police sprayed them with water
    cannons and arrested several people.
