Santiago .- The Police today dispersed dozens of Haitian and Dominican prostitutes who threatened to march naked through the streets of Santiago to protest alleged harassment and indiscriminate arrests by the authorities.
The Police however, asked the women to leave the area of the park where they planned to protest and arrested and later released those who resisted, according to North Region police spokesman Jesus Cordero Paredes. He denied that the prostitutes are beaten by the officers who patrol the area as some of the sex workers alleged.
The Haitian prostitutes in the area, all undocumented, were handed over to the Immigration authorities for subsequent repatriation, newspaper Diario Libre said.
Yahaira Jimenez, spokesman of prostitutes, said all her colleagues were ready to strip naked to protest the eviction.
