In October 2019, protests broke out in Chile's capital city Santiago, as transport fares were raised. The protests were also related to a series of underlying social issues, such as high living costs and inequality in the country. The situation escalated as Chile's president, Sebastián Piñera, announced a state of emergency and authorized the deployment of Chilean Army forces across the main regions. Protests were expanded to other Chilean cities as the situation worsened. In turn, in the period from October 2019 to March 2020, more than 2,500 complaints of human rights violations conducted by security forces against civilians were filed in the country. Santiago and its metropolitan region registered the highest number of complaints in the period, at 986. Biobío followed, with 247 complaints.
