Thirteen journalists were attacked at Colombia’s anti-government protests, said press freedom foundation (FLIP) on Monday.
According to President Gustavo Petro, the protests drew some 250,000 people, mainly supporters of the conservative and far-right opposition parties, in cities throughout Colombia.
The attacks allegedly took place in the capital Bogota, and in the cities of Medellin, Barranquilla and Bucaramanga.
None of the journalists were injured.
Virtually all the attacks targeted journalists of public television network RTVC and alternative media.
These journalists were being accused of being “sell-outs,” “leftists” and “provocateurs.”
