Family of Dilan Cruz broke silence after the ruling condemning the Police for his death: acknowledged an advance, but insisted that justice is still lacking

The family of Dilan Cruz, an 18-year-old who died during protests in November 2019, has spoken out after the Administrative Court of Cundinamarca ruled the National Police responsible for his death. The court acknowledged a failure in service, classified the case as a serious violation of human rights, and ordered public recognition of responsibility and apologies. While the family expressed appreciation for the acknowledgment of state responsibility after years of waiting, they emphasized that justice is not yet complete. They criticized the court for not fully adopting their requested measures, including guarantees against repetition and preservation of Dilan’s memory. The family reiterated their commitment to seeking comprehensive justice, not only for Dilan but for all Colombian families affected by similar incidents.
