Science Minister Ximena Lincolao was physically assaulted and trapped for nearly three hours by student protesters during the academic year inauguration at Universidad Austral de Chile in Valdivia on April 8. Protesters blocked exits, threw objects including a pot lid injuring her head and arm, and doused her with water. The government filed a criminal lawsuit for assault on authority, while the university condemned the violence and launched an internal investigation.
