Protests in Bogotá: Students block 72nd Street and the Seventh Race

Young people would be protesting against a recent military operation carried out by the National Army in Putumayo and to support indigenous communities settled in the National Park

Students from the Pedagogical University and the District University took to the streets of Bogotá on April 7 to protest against social injustices. First, they reject a recent military operation carried out by the National Army in Putumayo. At least 10 people died in the action, who would be supposed to be dissidents, however, the young people say that these would be extrajudicial executions, also known as 'false positives'. Likewise, they would be on the streets to support the indigenous communities settled in the National Park.

Due to the protests, until 3:00 p.m. this Thursday, two points of the city remain blocked: 72nd street with race 11, at the entrance of the Pedagogical University; and the Seventh race on 40th street in the south north direction.
