Colombia persecuting opposition, charging anti-government protesters with terrorism
by Adriaan Alsema June 2, 2021
Colombia’s Inspector General is investigating congressmen who opposed attempts to violently crack down on protests against the increasingly tyrannical President Ivan Duque.
The alleged political persecution of lawmakers is the latest escalation in the repression of anti-government protests that allegedly cost the lives of 69 protesters and two policemen since April 28.
According to Senator Alexander Lopez, Inspector General Margarita Cabello opened an investigation against the opposition lawmaker for allegedly obstructing a police operation in Cali on May 1.
Lopez said on Twitter he was facilitating the release of anti-government protesters who were illegally detained by police at the time.
