Camila Antonia Amaranta Vallejo Dowling the 23 year old Chilean student movement leader during the recent Chilean protests that met with ferocious police opposition, has succeeded in obtaining a Supreme Court order instructing police to provide her with protection following death threats. Vallejo is considered an influential icon of modern Chile, seen by some as the successor to the symbolic Gladys Marín. Vallejo is a active member of the ‘Juventudes Comunistas de Chile’ (Chilean Communist Youth), and is the president of the Federación de Estudiantes de la Universidad de Chile (FECh) (Student Federation of the University of Chile). Vallejo a geography student was blamed by the government for the protests, and was attacked by squad vehicles firing jets of tear gas and water, setting off chemical allergic reactions resulting in welts and respiratory conditions.
