At least 17 people died and more than 800 were injured in clashes that broke out in Colombia during five days of protests against a proposed government tax reform, authorities said on Monday. The Ombudsman's Office said 16 civilians and one police officer died in violence during the protests that began throughout the country on April 28, while 846 people, including 306 civilians, were injured. Faced with the unrest, the government of President Ivan Duque ordered the proposal be withdrawn from Congress where it was being debated. lv/jss/lda/bc/st
