STORYLINE:
Thousands of Colombians took to the streets Sunday during a “march of silence” in more than 20 cities across the nation to condemn the attack against a Colombian senator.
Conservative Colombian senator Miguel Uribe Turbay was seriously wounded during a shooting at political rally.
The march was attended by several sectors, including the conservative party Centro Democrático which the young politician belongs to.
Marchers held banners and chanted “Miguel, my friend, Colombia is with you!” as they made their way to Bogota’s main Plaza Bolivar.
Police reported some 25,000 attendees.
Senator Uribe was giving a speech a week ago in a park in the west of the Colombian capital when he was shot at by a 15-year-old minor who was captured a few meters away.
The 39-year-old politician was admitted in critical condition to the Fundación Santa Fe clinic where he underwent surgery and remains in intensive care.
