Demonstrators gathered in Santiago on Friday, demanding the release of those detained at previous protests.

Chilean social organisations called for the demonstration near the headquarters of the Presidency of Chile in the latest anti-government rally where they were met with water cannons and tear gas.

Chile has been rocked by anti-government protests since 2019, leading to a referendum this October in which citizens overwhelmingly voted for a new constitution.

For weeks, protesters have staged demonstrations every Friday, demanding economic reforms and the resignation of President Sebastian Pinera.
