Colombia expels German protest supporter after assassination attempt
by Adriaan Alsema July 28, 2021
Colombia’s migration authority expelled a German tourist who became the victim of an assassination attempt after taking part in anti-government protests.
In a statement, the migration authority said that Rebecca Sproesser was expelled because she “was carrying out activities that had nothing to do with her status as a tourist, and which could affect the civil order and peace.”
Sproesser gained national fame after taking part in and explicitly supporting largely peaceful protests against the increasingly tyrannical President Ivan Duque.
The German survived an assassination attempts in the city in Cali that followed a stigmatization campaign led by far-right activists and media personalities loyal to Duque, Sproesser said Friday.
