Police massacre protesters in southwest Colombia
by Adriaan Alsema June 6, 2021
Police in Colombia’s third largest city Cali massacred five anti-government protesters and opened fire on medics who were helping 24 injured protesters on Friday.
The alleged massacre is the latest attack on unarmed civilians as part of a brutal state terror campaign in which almost 80 people were murdered and another 129 disappeared.
More than half of the killings of supporters since the beginning of protests on April 28 took place in Cali where police previously opened fire on a group of human rights observers that included United Nations Officials.
Friday’s massacre victims belonged to Cali’s “Primera Linea,” groups of young people who have equipped themselves with shields and helmets to protect neighborhood protests from police brutality.
