The protests were originally called in opposition to a now-canceled tax reform plan, but demonstrators have broadened their demands to include government action to tackle poverty, police violence and inequalities in the health and education systems. In Bogota, during protests people held balloons and signs that read "no to tax reform" in Spanish.

According to Colombia's Human Rights Ombudsman, 16 protesters and one policeman have been killed in the demonstrations. But that figure doesn't include reports of deaths in Cali on Monday, which the UN said it is still trying to confirm.

The video shows protesters gathering at night in the streets of Bogota, Colombia.
