One dead, 50 hurt in Colombian clashes

BOGOTA, Colombia (CNN) -- Violent clashes between Indian protesters and riot police in southwest Colombia have left more than 50 people injured and at least one dead, spokesmen from both sides said.

An estimated 7,000 Indians from different ethnic communities used rocks and tree trunks early Tuesday to block the main Pan-American highway in at least four spots between Colombia's second largest city, Cali, and the city of Popayan -- 84 miles (135 kilometers) to the south.
