Colombian social leader who co-signed FARC peace agreement assassinated

Bogota, June 8 (RHC)-- In Colombia, another social leader has been murdered.  José Alonso was from the region of Valle del Cauca and a signatory of the 2016 peace accord between the Colombian state and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. 

The 56-year-old was a community organizer for at least 30 years and served as president of the Moralia’s Communal Council until his assassination.  His killing came as massive anti-government protests against right-wing President Iván Duque continued across Colombia.
