MEANWHILE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE ……………..
As we all are giving our attention to the issue of the plebiscite in
Colombia and how the Peace Process will be implemented, there are issues
happening in the countryside that show that the Colombian Army and
Police do not seem prepared for a country at peace. Consider the
following examples:
Please send a message to the following emails:
PAULA GAVIRIA, Head of the Human Rights Office of President Santos :
OFFICE OF PRESIDENT SANTOS:
LUIS CARLOS VILLEGAS, Minister of Defense:
Request
that the Colombian Army and Police stop at once their human rights
violations in the rural areas of the country. Why does the New Granada
Battalion arbitrarily detain peasants by using unknown human sources
accusing them of being ELN guerrillas ? Why does the 17th Brigade in
Uraba let the paramilitaries act freely to invade the territory of the
Peace Community? Ask why the Army and Police do not stop the
paramilitaries?
PLEASE write also to your Senators and Representatives in the U.S. Congress.
