Chilean police arrested 15 people who on Tuesday peacefully occupied the Argentine consulate in Santiago, in an attempt to gain publicity for their demands for more access to education and housing, dpa reported.
The protestors, members of Movement for Combat in the Santiago neighbourhood of Penalolen, were arrested by elite police forces as they left the diplomatic mission in central Santiago of their own accord. They had sought to meet with the consul.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
