Hundreds of thousands of people are protesting in San Juan, Puerto Rico, according to state police.
Axel Valencia, a state police spokesperson, said there have been no reported deaths during the last eight days of protests, despite some reports on social media claiming otherwise.
UPDATE: Earlier, police had said more than 200,000 people were involved in the protest. Police have since reached out to CNN to retract that number.
