 Colombian Activists Targeted by Government
Assassination Plot
Colombia is one of the most dangerous countries
in the world to be a human rights defender.
Colombian human rights defender,
Berenice Celeyta Alayon, recently obtained leaked secret government
documents describing a plot targeting her and 12 other human rights
activists.
The government falsely accuses the activists as
being part of a narco-terrorist network and of having ties to
guerrillas.
Ms. Celeyta is not a terrorist. Rather, she
defends the human rights of workers, Afro-Colombians, internally
displaced people and poor communities. She won a prestigious
international human rights award in 1998 in recognition of her work.
You can help to
ensure that Ms. Celeyta, and other Colombian human rights activists
do not become victims of these plans to harm
them. Please urge the Colombian government to protect
these activists and to investigate those involved in plotting to
assassinate them.
