Colombian defense minister defends police action during censure motion 2 minutes read Bogota, May 24 (EFE).- Colombia’s defense minister on Monday defended police actions during a censure motion debate in congress, where senators and lawmakers accused him of being “politically responsible” for police violence in protests that began on Apr. 28. The seven-hour session, which ended without a vote on the dismissal of Diego Molano, was convened by 18 legislators due to “human rights violations” allegedly committed by security forces during violent demonstrations, which left at least 43 people dead and 129 missing. Also taking part in the debate was Juan Fonseca, who lost an eye during the protests allegedly due to the action of the police’s mobile anti-riot squad (Esmad) and family members of Santiago Murillo and Lucas Villas, both of whom were killed during the demonstrations.
Bogota, May 22 (Prensa Latina) Human rights organizations in Colombia will establish a space for dialogue with citizens to jointly create proposals to face the current situation in the country.
