Road blockades connected to weeks of anti-government protests in Colombia, which have caused food and gasoline shortages and stymied exports, are still in place around the country on Thursday despite a recent presidential order to clear them. The government says cutting off people from freedom of movement is a crime. President Ivan Duque earlier this week ordered security forces to move blockades, but the national police said as of noon there were 62 protests taking place and still 43 blockades erected in 17 of Colombia's 32 provinces.

There will be no impunity for Colombia police abuses, top cop says Reuters 1 hr ago
By Luis Jaime Acosta
BOGOTA, May 16 (Reuters) - Members of Colombia s national police force who are responsible for abuses or acts of violence amid ongoing protests will be punished to the full extent of the law, the head of the force said.
Demonstrators and human rights groups have repeatedly accused police officers of killing civilians, excessive use of force, sexual abuse and the use of firearms, both during current protests and previous ones.
Accusations of possible abuse of a minor in the city of Popayan have sparked violent protests there this week.
