El Salvador protest
Riot police in El Salvador attacked a peaceful rally of more than 1,000
protesters in front of the maternity hospital, Nov. 27, including hospital
patients, children and retirees. As demonstrators ran for cover, riot police
blocked off the street and fired into the crowd with rubber bullets, shotgun
pellets, teargas grenades and a water cannon. More than 35 were seriously
injured by rubber bullets. Hospital personnel said over 100 infants suffered
from teargas inhalation. The protest was part of ongoing support for striking
healthcare workers and opposition to privatization of health care.
