Death of Juliana Giraldo will be investigated with a gender perspective

The Colombian authorities are investigating the death of Juliana Giraldo, a transgender woman, apparently by a gunshot by a Colombian Army soldier, at an alleged military checkpoint.

The complaint of the events was made by who would be the victim's partner in a video that went viral on social networks.

An expert traveled to the area to determine if the victim's gender identity "is relevant in the case."
