Protesters in downtown Miami decry corruption in Colombia amid unrest

MIAMI (WSVN) - Protesters rallied in downtown Miami to bring attention to the economic struggles facing the people of Colombia.

Hundreds gathered near the Torch of Friendship on Saturday to call for an end to government corruption in the South American country.

Demonstrators held up signs and waved Colombian flags.

“My whole family is there. My father’s there, my brother, my grandmothers, aunts, uncles, they are living this,” said protester Camila Alfonso, “so what I can do is bring awareness, show up here and bring international awareness.”
