Student Killed in Anti-War Protest in Colombia Wednesday
Yesterday he was shot dead during an anti-war protest in Bogota.
A group of students were protesting the bombings in Afganistan when police responded to the demo with violence. A group of students were confronting police forces who had invaded university campus when Carlos was shot at around noon. Police commander denies police are responsible for the shooting but a number of witnesses confirm the shot came from behind police lines.
Police occupied the campus for the whole afternoon. By night a lot of students were camping in the university and preparing protests for Thursday.
The University will be closed today and tomorrow.
Reports of this have yet to appear in Corporate media anywhere.
