Displaced occupy Bogotá church

Colombia news - Iglesia San Francisco

More than 100 displaced people occupied a Bogotá church Friday they would not leave until Saturday after they had talks with the local ombudsman.

The displaced wanted more attention for the three-week-long protest displaced on Bogotá's central Plaza de Bolivar and demand better care for those displaced by violence.

After authorities agreed to provide "productive projects" to the displaced, they left the church.
