SANTIAGO, Chile — A land dispute on Easter Island turned violent Friday when riot police evicting islanders from their ancestral home were surrounded by rock-throwing protesters. About two dozen people were injured in the seven-hours- long confrontation.
The clash began at 5 a.m. when officers moved in to evict 10 people from the home they had been occupying since ousting a government official from the property in September, said Rapa Nui lawyer Maka Atan. The Rapa Nui resisted, and the violence left 17 officers and eight civilians hurt, according to police.
