HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS PEACEFULLY OCCUPY DEFENSORIA DEL PUEBLO OFFICE IN BOGOTA
Bogotá, May 17. More than 100 people, including human rights organizations, students, unionists, campesinos and indigenous, are at this moment carrying out a Peaceful Occupation of the offices of the Defensoría del Pueblo in the city of Bogotá.
This Occupation has three fundamental purposes: first, to protest the police brutality against the mobilizations in Cauca, Valle, Nariño,
Antioquia, among others; secondly, to demand a pronouncement from the Defensor del Pueblo; and third to publicly denounce the threats that have been made against more than 20 social organizations.
[...]
In Cauca at this moment there is a tense calm, as the arrival is impatiently awaited of a Government Commission which has been dispatched to Piendamo.
