September 11th (http://en.contrainfo.espiv.net/2011/09/18/black-september-a-view-of-anarchy%E2%80%99s-past-and-present-in-chile) was the day that, in 1973, the commander-in-chief of the Chilean army Augusto Pinochet took power over the democratically elected president Allende. Pinochet killed and tortured thousands in his dictatorial rule, until 1990.
On the same day, in 1998, anarchist Claudia López (http://en.contrainfo.espiv.net/2012/09/13/chile-claudia-lopez-dance-student-and-anarchist-was-shot-dead-by-a-bullet-in-her-back-14-years-ago-this-week) was shot dead by cops of the reinstated democracy while she fought at a barricade during a commemoration of the 1973 coup d’etat. Since then, under the slogan of ‘Black September’ demonstrators fight state repression in remembrance of Claudia and all of those who fell in combat.
This year, sabotages, barricades, street battles with petrol bombs and armed attacks on police took place during the 39th anniversary of September 11th, leaving one cop shot dead and many other pigs injured.
Hadn't heard that this had recently happened in Chile till I read this report, posted a few days ago. Chile is always good for mini-riot-a-thons.
