Since the start of protests in Colombia on April 28, the Risaralda Human Rights Table, comprising defenders from unions, organizations, collectives, and independents, has recorded approximately 180 instances of physical aggression, violent dispersal of protests, arbitrary detentions, and even the use of firearms by public forces. Lawyer Adriana González, a member of the Table, reported these findings on RCN Radio and will present them to the International Mission S.O.S Colombia in Pereira. The aim is to pressure the national government to return to a state of democracy by respecting and guaranteeing the rights of all citizens, as per its international obligations.

The indigenous population in Mexico has increased to 6.1% of the total population, with 865,972 people not speaking Spanish, concentrated in Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Yucatán.
