Since the Black Life Matter protests began in the United States, statues around the world have been overturned, vandalized and demolished by protesters.
Rolled statue
Now protesters from Colombia's indigenous people, Misak, have toppled a statue of the Spanish conqueror Sebastián de Belalcázar.
It was in the southwestern city of Popayán that miscreants on Thursday tore down the equestrian figure depicting the man who founded the city in 1537, reports BBC News.
A symbol of a multicultural city, says Popayán Mayor Juan Carlos Lopez Castrillón.
A representative of five centuries of genocide and slavery, says the leader of the indigenous people.
"Violence"
The mayor believes this was an act of violence.
Sebastián de Belalcázar led many expeditions in the northwestern parts of South America and also founded what is now Ecuador's capital Quito.
The protesters, on the other hand, believe that the blame for the murders of their ancestors and land grabbing should be placed on Sebastián de Belalcázar.
Several have died and hundreds have been injured in the demonstrations that have now been going on for over a week in Colombia.
Of the hundreds injured, almost half are police officers.
