National strike in Colombia: the wings of the cabinetmaker

The son of a poor family, 26-year-old Brahian joined two lists of victims of violence during the National Strike that has been going on in Colombia since 28 May: the list of those who have disappeared (now almost 500) and the list of those who have been killed, which is close to 60. He was not marching, shouting or fighting. Like him, thousands of young people have been victims of abuse by the police or other actors.
