Colombians March in Support of Dismissed Bogotá Mayor · Global Voices
Silvia Viñas

Supporters marched in Bogotá and in other major cities to support Mayor Gustavo Petro, who was dismissed from his duties by Colombia's Inspector General Alejandro Ordóñez Maldonado and banned from public office for 15 years.
Mike's Bogotá Blog shares photos and an account of the march on January 10, 2014:
[…] the most widespread motive I heard for backing Petro was on general democratic principles: Ousting him this way, by an extremely conservative unelected official, was anti-democratic.
Kenneth Lowe in Colombia Reports adds:
The former mayor is currently waiting for the inspector general to rule on [his] appeal. The United Nations and the Inter-American Court for Human Rights are also studying claims Ordoñez overreached his authority by removing the elected official from office.
