Hundreds of members of indigenous communities in southwest Colombia marched in protest over the weekend against the illegal gold mining taking place in their territories.
The protesters, mostly from the indigenous and Afrocolombian communities from La Toma in Cauca, are angry about the pollution and environmental damage caused by the illegal activity.
