from email, 13 September 2008:

10 years ago on September 11th, Claudia Lopez a woman, student and anarchist dancer was killed by the police during a protest commemorating the coup of 1973.

Under the slogan of Black September the youth combatants fight in her name, and in the name of all those killed under democracy, against the bastards who killed them, making sure that the world remembers that we are living in a war.

- On September 2nd 2008 combative youth took the streets to stop traffic on Jorge Alessandri Avenue out side of the UMCE University. They fought police for hours with rocks and molotov cocktails

- On September 9th 2008 combative youth set fire to barricades to remember Claudia Lopez in the Cordon Macul, attacking a McDonalds with molotov cocktails

This September 11th is the 35th anniversary of Pinochet's Coup and is marked annually by mass rioting, and street fighting. Last year a police officer was shot and killed by radical youth defending a barricade in the poor suburbs of Santiago, the nation's capital.
