Residents of Bogota slum facing eviction despite quarantine

Hundreds of people expected to be evicted from their hillside homes in a slum of Colombia's capital Bogota on Friday, despite having nowhere to go during the country's coronavirus lockdown. Residents accuse police accompanying the eviction process of excessive force. The evictions in the Altos de la Estancia neighborhood are taking place despite Colombia's months-long lockdown meant to stem the spread of coronavirus, which has killed more than 500 people.
