2nd Urgent Action Colombia December 25

Attached and linked below is an Urgent Action regarding serious attacks on members of the Inter-Church Commission for Justice and Peace while engaging in human rights defence activities in Southwest Colombia. 

Among other events, the reports include unknown people pointing firearms at their vehicle and chasing them. The recurrence of such events points at the need for stronger protection measures on their behalf.

Amnesty is calling on Colombia’s National Protection Unit to take immediate action and provide the organization with effective and strong protection measures that allow them to continue defending human rights.   Urgent Action Link: [Click here]
