Mother’s Take Up Front Line Of Colombia Protests.

A group of 10 Moms are calling themselves “Front Line Moms” as they protest to protect youth from alleged police violence.

To protect themselves, the mothers don glasses, face caps and water soaked bandana’s, standing in the frontlines of protests typically marked with hails of tear gas, rocks and fire hose streams.

The group has appeared in videos on social media, one of which shows a sound grenade thrown by police exploding near them during a demonstration.

Colombia’s government and national strike committee, made up of major unions and student groups, reached “pre-agreements” which the government said it hopes will lead to talks to end the almost one month of widespread protests.

The government says just 17 deaths are directly connected with marches, while human rights groups claim dozens more. The attorney general’s office says that while 129 of those reported missing are yet to be found, 290 people have been.
