Marcha de Natalia Emme Bedoya

A young woman, Naty Emma Bedoya, a bit younger than I, was hit by a government vehicle carrying the wife of the attorney general of the state a few weeks ago. There is controversy of the horrific death of Naty, because witnesses of the crime claim that the wife of the attorney general was driving this car. The car was driving in the special lane designated for public transportation, so that in itself was an illegal act. After Naty was hit the woman switched with a body guard and claimed she was not driving the car. In police reports, whoever made the statement, I am a bit unclear of this, said they didn't think they hit a person, but claimed to have thought it was a dog they hit. She ended up being dragged 50 or so meters by the SUV, and was declared dead on the scene. Allegedly there is video surveillance that is being with held at this time, but the wife has already been cleared by the state. A march was held last week, the first of what appears to be several, to call for justice of the crime and to call for the resignation of the attorney general. It was also a plead to people everywhere that do not receive the justice they deserve due to governmental corruption. I have attached a few links, which can be translated in google translator, if you are interested in reading more about this.
