    Night of fire and violence in Ushuaia as protestors are evicted from Government House grounds

    The strikers had been camping for almost three months outside Government House, limiting access, to protest an amendment to the pensions' scheme

    Ushuaia suffered a night of violence, tear and pepper gas and fire when riot police dislodged an 80-day protest camp and tents of striking teachers and government employees next to Tierra del Fuego Government House. Seven people were reported injured including a policeman and a fireman, when tents were set on fire, and unions claimed it was a savage and brutal display of government repression
