Mon Laferte Holds Topless Protest Against Chilean State Violence at Latin Grammys
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the Latin Grammys in Las Vegas Thursday night, Chilean artist Mon
Laferte uncovered her breasts as she walked onto the red carpet,
revealing the words "In Chile, they torture, rape and kill" written
across her chest. As she accepted the award for best alternative album,
she also read a poem by a Chilean writer, saying, "Chile, your pain
hurts me."
