Bogota curfew amid deadly protests - CNN
The curfew first went into effect at 8 p.m. on Friday in the districts of Kennedy, Ciudad Bolivar and Bosa. It was then extended across the entire city of Bogota starting at 9 p.m.
Bogota Mayor Enrique Peñalosa blamed the necessity of the curfew on looters.
This is not a strike, nor is it a democratic march, nor a cacerolazo, Peñalosa said during a news conference on Friday. Cacerolazo is form of protests, popular across Latin America, during which marching demonstrators bang pots and pans.
"We are facing a minority of criminals destroying the city, destroying the public and private assets of citizens, so we are doing everything to ensure the operation of the city," he added.
