SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - An indigenous rights activist jailed for setting fire to a farm once owned by Mapuche Indians ended a 110-day hunger strike on Monday, government and religious officials said.
Patricia Troncoso ended her fast after Chilean officials agreed to transfer her to a special, rural prison and allow her home leave on weekends — benefits often granted for good behavior, said Bishop Alejandro Goic, who represented her in negotiations.
Presidential spokesman Francisco Vidal confirmed the agreement.
