Two Indigenous Mapuche Leaders Shot Dead in Chile
-------------------------------------------------

In Chile, security forces shot dead two Indigenous Mapuche leaders
during clashes Wednesday in the province of Arauco. The southern coastal
region has been under a state of emergency since last month, with the
Chilean government deploying 2,000 soldiers to the region as it attempts
to suppress the Mapuche community and their fight to recover their
ancestral lands.
