Student protesters tussle with guards at Chile presidential palace
SANTIAGO- Around 20 students protesting the Chilean government's education policies were forcibly removed by guards from the presidential palace on Tuesday after they had entered disguised as tourists.
Wearing orange baseball caps and backpacks, the students walked in the front entrance of the Palacio de la Moneda in downtown Santiago, cameras in hand. Upon reaching the central patio, they unfurled a banner reading, "Take note: the offensive begins today."
In dramatic scenes, guards tried to drag them outside. Many students resisted forcibly, clinging to columns as they battled.
