They demand a controversial resolution from the prosecutor's office that reassigned a terrorism file in Bogotá to a group investigating the social protest

The article reports on a controversial resolution by Colombia's Attorney General's Office that transferred a terrorism case involving eleven individuals accused of attacks in Bogotá to a newly created special task force focused on social protests. The case, which alleged involvement in burning a public transportation bus and attacking police patrols, was initially set for prosecution but was halted after the transfer. The move has sparked legal challenges, with the Foundation for the Rule of Law filing a complaint against the decision before the Supreme Court. Critics argue that transferring a terrorism case to a group investigating social protests undermines due process and risks the administration of justice, as the accused remain in custody without clear timelines for their trial.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the transfer of the terrorism case to a 'social protest' investigation as a potential threat to judicial fairness, implying that the new task force may lack the capacity to handle serious criminal charges. It highlights concerns over due process and the risk of undermining the law
