"Un buen precedente": ordenan al Fisco pagar $680 millones a Fabiola Campillai por daño moral

A Chilean court has ordered the government to pay $680 million to Fabiola Campillai, a woman who lost her eyesight after being hit in the face by a police officer’s tear gas canister during a protest in 2019. This landmark ruling sets a precedent for holding the state accountable for its actions and bringing justice to victims of police brutality. The court found that the police officer acted negligently, and the government failed to adequately train and supervise its officers. The ruling has been widely praised by human rights organizations and activists who hope it will pave the way for more justice and accountability in cases of police violence. This ruling is not only important for Chile but also for other countries where police brutality is a pervasive problem. It sets an example that brutality by law enforcement officers won’t be tolerated and that the government should take responsibility for its actions. This is a significant step towards protecting citizens from the use of excessive force by the police.
