Prison authorities in Colombia’s capital Bogota massacred 24 inmates after protests over coronavirus fears in La Modelo prison in March turned violent, forensic experts said Monday.

According to the Independent Forensic Expert Group (IFEC), autopsy reports indicate prison guards intentionally murdered inmates after their participation in national prison protests escalated.

The forensic experts were asked to examine the autopsy reports by Human Rights Watch (HRW) and concluded that “most of the gunshot wounds described in the autopsy reports are consistent with having been produced with the objective of killing.”

“The autopsy reports do not record any signs of gunshot injuries carried out with the intention of solely injuring individuals instead of killing them,” according to IFEC.
