REUTERS/Pablo Sanhueza/File PhotoSANTIAGO: A Chilean special forces captain has been arrested for assault in relation to an incident in which a woman was blinded by a tear gas canister during the massive social protests that rocked the country in 2019.
Earlier this month, two police officers were fired for failing to provide first aid to Campillai and, in one case, making false statements about what happened, according to police. In a tweet, the prosecutor's office described him as"the main defendant in relation to the serious injuries caused to a woman... that resulted in her total blindness."More than 30 people died, 3,000 were injured and 30,000 were arrested during the demonstrations, which drew criticism from several international human rights organizations who accused police of repetitive use of excessive force.
