Human rights groups concerned about Colombia security bill

AlJazeeraEnglish

Rights groups say Colombia’s controversial security law violates human rights and the opposition says they will challenge it in the Constitutional Court. The law claims to guarantee citizen security with tougher penalties, but critics say it violates the Constitution, dangerously expanding self-defence laws among other provisions. It also increases penalties for damaging public infrastructure or when protesters wear a mask, potentially turning protesters into criminals. The bill was approved by Congress this week and is expected to be signed off by President Ivan Duque.

It’s been described as a once-in-a-generation event. Floods have swamped large parts of Southern & Central China after the worst torrential rains in decades. Many people are dead or missing.
