STORYLINE
A tribute to victims of the regime of Chile's General Augusto Pinochet ended in clouds of tear gas on Sunday as demonstrators clashed with police at Santiago's main cemetery.
Police did not immediately report on detentions but some officers could be seen dragging a number of demonstrators to police buses.
At least one officer and two civilians were injured.
More than five-thousand people had marched peacefully for more than 20 city blocks from downtown Santiago to a memorial wall erected in the cemetery bearing the names of hundreds of victims of Pinochet's 1973-90 dictatorship.
Organisors of the tribute blamed the incidents on vandals and infiltrators - mostly young, hooded men - who started throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails, first at a McDonald's restaurant, then at a suburban city hall where the mayor is Gonzalo Cornejo, of the right-wing Independent Democratic Union party.
Police moved in firing tear gas and using water cannons, both inside the cemetery and around it.
A senior officer said police "acted to restore order and protect peaceful citizens."
The tribute is staged every year on or around the anniversary of the September 11, 1973 coup in which Pinochet ousted Marxist President Salvador Allende.
Clashes in previous years were clearly more serious than those on Sunday.
