Defend the Human Rights Defenders
This petition was published by neil boorman on Feb 17, 2009
We, the undersigned, call on the Colombian Government to take a firm stance in favour of those who put their lives at risk to defend human rights.
Recent comments by senior government figures, including the President, seeking to undermine their work are not appropriate in a democracy, where all points of view must be valued, and lead to more threats and violence.
Additionally, we insist that the rights of victims of displacement and human rights violations to justice and compensation must be upheld.
