As a result of the clashes, at least 14 people have been killed in Cali since Friday and 98 have been wounded. Some 54 of these injuries were caused by firearms, according to Bachelet’s office.

“These events are all the more concerning given the progress that had been made to resolve, through dialogue, the social unrest that erupted a month ago,” Bachelet said in a statement.

“It is essential that all those who are reportedly involved in causing injury or death, including State officials, are subject to prompt, effective, independent, impartial and transparent investigations and that those responsible are held accountable.”
