POLICE in Colombia have faced a backlash after video footage emerged at the weekend of them violently storming a university campus in a bid to disperse protesting students.
The footage circulating on social media appeared to show Colombia’s mobile anti-riot squad (Emad) and national police aggressive response on Friday including the use of tear gas against the students who have been on strike since April 15 demanding academic rights.
“The government sent security forces to shut us up, but they won t make it,” student Juan Restrepo said after the raid.
Cali governor Clara Roldan, who called in the police, accused the students of “illegally camping” at the University of Valle (Univalle).
