Colombia's defense minister apologized on Friday on behalf of the
police for the death of a detained man that has sparked several nights of
protests in Bogota and nearby Soacha, leaving 13 dead and hundreds injured.
President Ivan Duque said Friday evening that all the deaths would be investigated swiftly and no abuse by security forces would be tolerated.
Demonstrators have taken to the streets for consecutive nights to protest the death on Wednesday of Javier Ordonez, 46.
