Colombia and Human Rights Defenders

Colombia's conflict is Latin America's longest, and
civilians find themselves increasingly in the firing
line. Peace Brigades International (PBI) accompanies
human rights defenders and rural "peace communities"
in Colombia, where many face death threats or attacks
for their work. Come and hear how PBI works, and find
out about the rural communities who are trying to opt
out of the cycle of violence, and risk paying with
their lives. Returned PBI volunteer June Holmes will
be talking about her experiences and taking questions.
In memory of Luis Eduardo Guerra, leader of the San
Jose Peace Community, murdered with his family on 21st
February 2005 - come and find out what you can do...

The commonplace is in central leeds close to both the
bus and train station see our website for a map

’Las mentiras oficiales no pudieron esconder la verdad
07-03-2005
……En el caso de Uraba mañana sabremos que las manos del régimen están manchadas de sangre’. Es de resaltar el coraje de la comunidad de Apartado, de negarse a dar cualquier testimonio del hecho a esta paquidérmica justicia. La comunidad de Apartado ya se cansó de escribir peticiones y testimonios que no son tenidos en cuenta por la justicia y que en muchos casos terminan en manos de los paramilitares. Y quien podría confiar en una justicia que ha demostrado incapacidad para investigar, juzgar y sancionar los delitos cometidos por agentes del Estado, escribe Monica Miranda.

La guerra sucia del Ejército colombiano
06-03-2005
Recientemente, ha dicho el Minifhurer: “Ahora estamos en el reto de mostrarle a Colombia que podemos derrotar a los terroristas sin utilizar a otros terroristas. Colombia no puede proteger a sus ciudadanos con paramilitares” Es sabido que el proyecto paramilitar implementado por la oligarquía colombiana, entre otros objetivos buscaba limpiar la maltrecha imagen de la institución militar colombiana. Ante el mundo las Fuerzas Armadas del Estado colombiano cuentan con el más sanguinario de los prontuarios. Dentro de esa estructura esta la Policía Nacional colombiana, que es militar y conocida por ser la más criminal de las policías del mundo, escribe Torremolinos
