The Chilean state will pay USD $142,000 to the family of a man who died following a beating by police officers, known as Carabineros. The incident occurred on October 21, 2019, during the widespread social unrest, often referred to as the “estallido social,” in Santiago. The compensation ruling acknowledges state responsibility for the man’s death resulting from the actions of law enforcement. Details regarding the specific circumstances of the beating and the legal proceedings leading to the settlement were not immediately available. This case is one of many stemming from allegations of human rights violations during the period of intense protests and government response in late 2019. The payment aims to provide financial redress to the family for their loss. This decision may set a precedent for similar cases arising from the same period of social upheaval.
