Chile: Protests Against Minimum Sentence In Barra Rape Case
Published 22 July 2020 (4 hours 10 minutes ago)
Antonia Barra accused Pradenas of raping her in September of 2019, under drugs effects after meeting him in a nightclub. Barra committed suicide in October.
Chileans took to the streets Wednesday to protests against the Warranty Court of Temuco's verdict of domiciliary arrest for Martin Pradenas Durr, who faces rape and sexual abuse charges.
Protesters gathered near Pradenas house, where police repelled them using tear gas. Protests also erupted in Maipu, Ñuñoa, and Providencia communities, as well as in Santiago de Chile.
Feminist organizations also called for pot banging and other demonstrations on Thursday. They also loudly played "A rapist in your way," a Chilean feminist anthem against femicides and gender violence.
