Chile police band performs at hospital amid tension

Chile's Carabineros are marking their 93rd anniversary by playing live music for healthcare workers at a hospital in Santiago on Monday.

Hospital staff gathered at the lobby of the hospital "El Carmen" to listen to the sounds of drums, electric guitar and keyboard.

At one point, hospital workers protested the presence of Carabineros, some with one eye covered to represent the hundreds of people who were left with eye or facial injuries caused by security forces firing shotguns at close proximity at demonstrators during protests last year.

One worker, in protest, held a banner, reading "Carabineros: murderer institution. Kill, rape and torture."

In December, a U.N. human rights report accused Chilean security forces of serious human rights violations against protesters, including deaths, torture, sexual abuse and the use of excessive force.
