In Colombia, the family of 17-year-old Marcelo Agredo is demanding justice after a police officer fatally shot the boy while he joined a protest against the government’s proposed tax reforms last week. New disturbing video shows Agredo kicking an officer, then running away as the officer draws a pistol and shoots the teen in the back. Agredo was at the march with his brother. His father is a retired taxi driver. At least 19 people have been killed and hundreds more wounded during the days-long demonstrations.
Massive protests continue even after President Iván Duque withdrew the planned tax reforms, as anger mounts against his right-wing government and worsening poverty, unemployment and inequity in Colombia.
