22: Militants killed at least 22 civilians on Sunday in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the latest attack since the Congolese army launched an offensive to contain Islamist violence in the conflict-wracked region. The death toll brings to 179 the number of civilians killed in terror attacks since October 30.

800: Chilean police used excessive force in more than 800 incidents in response to recent widespread protests over economic inequality, according to a report by the National Institute for Human Rights. Of these, at least half included cases of torture and cruel treatment, and 194 involve sexual violence.
