Chilen President Sebastian Pinera has announced plans for a dialogue with the citizenry, but the protesters show little interest in talking with the government.
The institute also confirmed reports of torture and abuse by state forces during the protests of the last few days.
Meanwhile, after receiving Pinera's request, Bachelet announced that she will send the rapporteurs to Chile to investigate potential violations of basic liberties during the recent protests
