Bogota, May 15 (EFE).- Protest rallies in Colombia demanding socio-political reforms and an end to police brutality continued for the 18th day Saturday, a day before negotiations are set to start between the government and the National Strike Committee, a group representing many of the demonstrators.
Saturday passed without any major incident despite all eyes being on Jamundi, situated in the agro-industrial department of Valle de Cauca, where overnight a mob had burned down the municipal headquarters.
The city of Popayan, capital of the nearby Cauca department, also witnessed overnight clashes between protesters and security forces, resulting in the death of a young man while 40 others were injured.
