Afro-Colombian Teenagers Found Tortured and Murdered in Cali
------------------------------------------------------------

In Colombia, five Black teenagers were found brutally tortured and
murdered this week in the city of Cali. The teens had reportedly left
their homes on Tuesday morning to fly kites. Their bodies were
discovered that night. Community members recently led a protest
denouncing racism and violence inflicted by the Colombian state, and
demanding justice for the murdered teens and other Afro-Colombian people
who've been killed.
