The demonstration was part of a nationwide education protest organised by La Confederación de Estudiantes de Chile, according to the Santiago Times. The action was sparked by a ruling from Chile’s constitutional court that overturned a law which had barred for-profit companies from controlling universities. Credit: wash0_trih via Storyful
