according to the count of the Institute of Studies for Development and Peace (Indepaz) the number of murders of social leaders in the country rose to over 100. These murders are also treated as theft, revenge for the collection of loans, or any other excuse for+
+not accepting what they are: attempts to silence the voice of their demands, to nullify the opponents, the peasants, the uprooted and the defenders who raise their voices against the dynamics of violence that seems to go on and on.

3. Police abuse
On November 21, 2019, a series of protests were held around the country. In these protests the police abuse that was seen was immense, so much so that on November 23, 2019, 18-year-old Dilan Cruz was attacked by riot police in the middle of a protest in Bogotá

He was attacked with a handmade, i.e. illegal, projectile fired by ESMAD Captain Manuel Cubillos Rodriguez. Unfortunately, Dilan died on November 25 from a brain injury. He was to graduate from school in the next few days.
And today Colombia woke up to horrific images of a group of police officers electrocuting Javier Ordoñez, a lawyer who had been given a subpoena. They electrocuted him to death even though he was immobilized and unarmed, without caring that they were being filmed.+
