Rights activist ends 110-day hunger strike
SANTIAGO, Chile — An indigenous-rights activist jailed for setting fire to a farm once owned by Mapuche Indians ended a 110-day hunger strike Monday, government officials said.
Patricia Troncoso ended her fast after Chilean officials agreed to transfer her to a rural prison and allow home leave on weekends, benefits often granted for good behavior.
Troncoso, 37, has led the fight in Chile for indigenous land rights. In 2005, she was sentenced with four others to 10 years in prison for setting fire to a farm in southern Chile. Two of her four cohorts received the same concessions she did Monday.
