Police harassing Bogota Massacre victims as Colombia's authorities do nothing


by Adriaan Alsema December 14, 2020

Survivors and family members of people who were murdered in the Bogota Massacre in September claim that cops allegedly behind the bloodbath in Colombia’s capital are harassing them.

The family of one of the 13 people who were murdered on September 9 told Noticias Uno that police harassment is forcing them to leave Bogota’s Verbenal neighborhood.

The Inspector General’s Office is trying to determine which cops carried out the massacre but is not investigating Defense Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo and the deputy National Police chief, General Gustavo Moreno, who oversaw the state terror campaign.

What’s keeping Inspector General Fernando Carrillo is a mystery.

Trujillo was tweeting about his “legitimate use of state force” before, during and after the massacre.
