"Hacia a las 8:30 p. m. empezamos a escuchar que venía el Escuadrón Móvil Antidisturbios… luego llegó un helicóptero"...y ahí empezó un enfrentamiento "policías y militares encapuchados disparando armas semiautomáticas y fusiles" #Cali#Colombia#ColombiaEnAlertaRoja
There is major repression across Colombia as police indiscriminately attack protesters in several cities. Here in Bogota, they launch teargas and charge to disperse people demanding an end to economic inequality.
Extremely alarming situation in Colombia.
"Riot police have rampaged across the smoke-filled streets, shooting protesters at point-blank range and charging at crowds with their motorcycles" #cali#colombia#DerechosHumanos https://t.co/QHmQJGGxl2
