Protests put Colombia's far-right government on brink of collapse

May 5, 2021
The government of Colombia’s far-right President Ivan Duque is on the brink of collapse after using terrorism to quell anti-government protests backfired.
Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets on Wednesday as part of a national strike that a week ago drew only tens of thousands of people.
The protests, and attempts to silence independent media and use terrorism to quell the protests have made the future of the government of far-right Duque uncertain.

These ceremonies, which are conducted by experienced shamans and facilitators traditionally take place in a group setting of up to dozens of participants, and often entail intense visions and heavy purging throughout the duration.
With the advent of Covid-19 and subsequent social distancing guidelines, however, a number of retreat centers were forced to stop operations. And upon reopening, they made considerable changes to ensure they were taking the necessary precautions. The indigenous communities from which the ayahuasca tradition descends have been hit hard, with many of them living in remote areas with little access to the medical facilities necessary to safely fight the virus.

In recent months, the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) has received various requests for the protection of social leaders and ethnic minorities, as well as human rights cases requiring intervention. These have surpassed our staff’s ability to act on all of them in our usual, expeditious manner. As such, we are constrained to publishing alerts in a parceled manner. Below are the first set of cases we’ve received.
We cannot stress enough that international actions are required to stop the human rights rollbacks occurring as a result of the inadequate implementation of the 2016 peace accord, especially the Ethnic Chapter; resistance to advance a humanitarian dialogue with the National Liberation Army (
