Ecuador's Indigenous demonstrators gather at Central University in Quito to spend the night, where many are using it as a place of accommodation during the protest period.

An Indigenous protester died Tuesday in clashes with law enforcement during a ninth day of demonstrations against the Ecuadorian government, which the military described as a "grave threat."

Since June 13, multiple roads have been barricaded nationwide at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars to the economy, in demonstrations over fuel prices called by the powerful Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (Conaie).
