Colombia suspends right to 'pubic' protests ahead of national strike

by Adriaan Alsema April 27, 2021



A Bogota court ordered Colombia’s President Ivan Duque to announce the suspension of the right to “pubic” protest on Tuesday, a day before a national strike was planned.

The far-right president asked the Bogota Administrative Tribunal to suspend permissions of anti-government protests on Wednesday and Labor Day celebrations on May 1.

The Bogota court granted the request and ordered the president to announce the suspension of “pubic manifestations.”

Other parts of the ruling made it clear that Judge Valentina Arboleda meant “public manifestation” and accidentally referred to the lower part of the pelvis while suspending Colombians’ constitutional right to “demonstrate publicly and peacefully.”
