Colombia's Mobile Anti-Riot Squad Unleashes Another Night of Terror in Cali11 June 21
In Cali, citizen Jhon Arenas was shot and killed while driving his car in the Siloe neighborhood. Channel 2 also broadcast testimonies of a health mission member who said that the ESMAD set a young man on fire and then threw him into a pipe. Outlet El Espectador reported that a nine-year-old girl, who had disappeared several days ago, was found dead with signs of torture in Brisas de Comuneros neighborhood, where she had arrived with her family after fleeing violence in the Nariño department. In Bogota, the ESMAD assaulted seven people, five of whom were injured in the head in the Chicala neighborhood. In this area of the city, the indiscriminate firing of tear gas wreaked havoc on families who were trapped inside their homes, as reported by Colombia Informa.
Colombian victims of police brutality are waiting for international human rights missions to make a statement on the outrages they investigated. Since April 28, social organizations have reported over 70 murders and 3,700 cases of police brutality throughout this South American country. This Friday, students will march from the National University to the Prosecutor's Office in Bogota to demand actions in defense of the citizenry. This will happen when the National Strike reaches 45 consecutive days of protests against President Ivan Duque.
