BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - The U.N. on Friday called for an investigation into the deaths of six organizers of a march protesting the Colombian government and paramilitary death squads.
The victims included union workers and human rights activists. They were killed around the time of the March 6 protest that drew tens of thousands of people.
"This office asks state authorities to guarantee prompt and efficient protection for those human rights defenders and the leaders of social organizations," the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a statement.
