Around 100 students in Rethymno protested against police repression in Greek universities enabled by the passing of a law by the Ministry of Education, which allowed police to re-enter universities for the first extended period since the fall of the military dictatorship in 1974.

Hundreds of protesters gathered at the funeral of Haykel Rachdi to demand justice for the young activist who died after being shot in the head by a tear gas canister by police in the Kasserine Province city of Sbeitla. Police tear-gassed the funeral and made several arrests of women, children, and young men.
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Cali in solidarity with the Afro-Colombian community in Buenaventura, a vital Colombian port city under occupation by an armed gang that took over after government forces deserted the site.
Dozens of protesters in the Santiago neighborhood of La Pincoya took to the streets against the police state of Chile and neoliberal corporate tyranny. Police responded with brutal repression, shooting water cannons in a residential area and tear-gassing a playground.
Protesters demonstrated against the military government that took control after the protests that toppled the old leader. Many say that they simply took over to take power for themselves, not to pass the reforms that people wanted. The response towards protests has only validated the opinion that the military dictatorship will not cooperate with the people.
