Chile: Fishermen Protest over Lower Quotas

Heavy clashes broke out in Chile, where riot police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds, which responded by throwing missiles at the officers. The unrest occurred when several dozen fishermen blocked a road over a supposedly unpaid bonus from the government. This would have compensated the fisherman for a drop in catch quotas for sardines and anchovies in an attempt to protect Chilean fish stock. teleSUR
