Colombia: Kidnap, Rape & Murder of 7-Year-Old Girl Sparks Protests
------------------------------------------------------------------

In Colombia, authorities have arrested a man suspected of kidnapping,
raping and murdering a 7-year-old indigenous girl over the weekend, in a
brutal case of sexual violence that has sparked widespread outrage in
Colombia. On Tuesday, authorities charged an upper-class architect with
the kidnap and murder of Yuliana Andrea Samboni. The crime has sparked
ongoing protests. On Monday, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos
tweeted, in Spanish, "With profound indignation I condemn the crime
against the 7-year-old in Bogotá. #Ni Una Más," or "not one more," the
hashtag used across Latin America to condemn violence against women.
