Hundreds arrested in Chile on second day of strike

A 48-hour national strike in Chile has led to two nights of violence and hundreds of arrests, with clashes breaking out on Thursday during student protests demanding education reforms.
Around 175,000 people in dozens of towns took part in the protests, including 50,000 in downtown Santiago who demonstrated in a festive atmosphere despite occasional clashes between police and youth.
But elsewhere in the country the protests turned more violent, with 27 people wounded overall and 210 arrested, according to authorities.
