NSTworld: Furious Chileans have taken to the streets to register their anger over inequality and particularly to vent at the elites that control much of the country’s wealth.

They highlighted that official Chilean figures of more than 4,900 people injured in the protests were disputed and other sources had far higher numbers.

Chile’s worst crisis in decades erupted in mid-October over metro fare hikes but quickly escalated into the most severe outbreak of social unrest since the end of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet nearly 30 years ago. The public prosecutor’s office said it was investigating 26 deaths in the context of the protests and the justice ministry has said more than 4,900 people were injured, including nearly 2,800 police officers.

The investigators also reported that more than 28,000 people had been detained between October 18 and December 6, but that the great majority had been released.
