Indigenous communities and labour unions are protesting in Ecuador for a second day.
They want the government to freeze the price of fuel, which has risen many times in recent months.
There is also anger about plans to double oil and mining exploration in the Amazon region.
Ecuador’s President Guillermo Lasso, a conservative ex-banker who took office in May, said on Wednesday that his government would keep security forces on highways to maintain order.
