PUBLIMETRO COLOMBIA published a video in the afternoon in which it is seen that police officers torture detainees in what would be a Police station. Video of police forcing you to play Russian roulette is from 2016.
Different NGOs who defended human rights published the complaint as events that occurred in the framework of the protests that the country and the city are experiencing.
However, the information portal Colombia Check, a content and fake news verifier, effectively tracked the video that is part of complaints from 2016 and not from 2020, as we released on Thursday afternoon.
The video filming on social networks was shared virally and our note was read by many, for which we apologize publicly, for an unfortunate fact of misinformation.
Our protocols will be more and more strict, since PUBLIMETRO’s commitment is to fully inform, without adducing false or decontextualized news.
We reiterate our excuses to those who may be affected by this error and we thank the Colombia Check portal, which verified the information and today reveals how the events happened.
“The images of said video correspond to a case that occurred in the early morning of June 5, 2016 within the CAI del Codito, northeast of the capital, which was recorded in press releases of various local and national media.
According to the information reported by the media, the complaint of this case led to the fact that, a few days after the incident occurred, the operational deputy commander of the Bogotá Police at that time reported the initiation of an investigation to establish the responsibility of the seven uniformed officers registered in the video “, reports Colombia Check.
Video of policemen who force them to play Russian roulette is from 2016 and not 2020 as we replicated on Thursday afternoon.
