Reports are emerging from Colombia of a rising number of armed vigilante attacks against protestors, as anti-government demonstrations continue throughout the country.
Protestors from several indigenous minority groups in the city of Cali, the movement’s epicentre, say men in civilian clothes and armed with assault rifles are firing on protestors.
Anti-government demonstrations are now in their third week in Colombia after anger over a proposed tax reform morphed into a movement decrying a general rise in inequality in the country.
