In the municipality of Soacha, department of Cundinamarca, Colombia’s Mobile Riot Squad (ESMAD) murdered a minor while trying to evict unarmed displaced persons and migrants who had settled in private vacant lots.

"ESMAD murders a child in Soacha. It is the war against the poor," former presidential candidate Gustavo Petro said, adding that meanwhile President Ivan Duque "delivers public money to the owners of banks, big companies, and large estates."

Witnesses reported that 15-years-old Duvan Aldana was shot in the neck while participating in protests against the eviction procedures on 25 June.

Human rights defenders, social leaders, and lawyers uploaded videos to social networks in which the community is observed trying to help the injured student.
