Chilean carabineros are portrayed as pigs.

We are talking to the carabineros right now and will have them check this address in La Moneda, Santiago.

The carabineros are not at all well disposed to me, and there are a number of them patrolling the road.

They are being trained at the Chilean Carabineros' specialist training base in the capital Santiago.

When asked for comment, the Carabineros police force denied her accusation, and said there was insufficient evidence for further investigation.

As images began to filter on to social media, the Carabineros faced renewed pressure to act on a perceived culture of brutality.

Opposition politicians called for General Mario Rozas, the head of the Carabineros, to resign following a string of alleged human rights violations.

In the wake of the latest scandal enveloping the Carabineros, calls went out on social media for further protests to be held over the weekend.
