Colombia:Political Prisoners of a Criminal State?

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Monday March 08, 2004 11:28author by LASC - LASC Report this post to the editors

The use of the courts to smash human rights organisations

Human Rights groups and trade unionists are increasingly finding themselves in court up on trumped up charges of terrorism and rebellion. They spend many years in jail before charges are dropped or thrown out. Meanwhile their work remains undone.

PUBLIC Meeting

March 8th
Teachers Club
Parnell Square
Dublin

7.30 PM

Speaker: Yolanda Amaya
Yolanda is one of four human rights workers who spent 30 months on remand before the charges were thrown out.

Are these people FARC supporters? I ask this question because otherwise I wonder how any innocent person could end up on remand for so long. The Colombia Three also claimed to be innocent but an independent juduciary found that was not the case.

The Colombian Legal System has a full set of laws protecting workers rights and citizens civil rights. What it does not need is otside agitators who posess an ulterior agena.

And would you mind telling us, "Colombian resident", how many people have been convicted for the murders of over 3,000 trade unionists over the past twenty years? How many army officers have been put on trial for their role in massacres of civilians?

The Colombian state (more so now than ever) has smeared all social activists as "terrorists" and used this to justify their imprisonment or murder. What the Colombian people need is solidarity from the people of the world in their struggle against state repression. The world should ignore the shrill attacks on "outside agitators" from people like you who don't like the spotlight being put on the appalling human rights record of the Colombian state.
