BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia's national police are responsible for the deaths of 11 people during anti-police brutality protests last year, a report sponsored by the United Nations said on Monday.

A series of demonstrations against President Ivan Duque's unpopular government have led to more than 40 civilian deaths since 2019, according to government figures.
