Highways Blocked In South Chile To Protest Indigenous Violence | RED POWER MEDIA: Santiago, Mar 15 (EFE).- Workers in the forestry sector blocked several highways Tuesday in three regions of southern Chile that have been the target of arson attacks blamed on Mapuche Indian militants, authorities said.

The burning of trucks, machinery, agricultural and woodland properties has spread to the torching of churches and schools in the Biobio, Araucania and Los Rios regions since the beginning of this year.
