Colombia: 127 activists killed by far-right groups
SOLIDARITY campaigners urged the Colombian government to act yesterday after a shocking UN report revealed that far-right paramilitaries murdered 127 people last year.
The report by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights was released in Colombia on Thursday.
It said many of the killings of trade unionists, peasant leaders and human rights activists were in areas where the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) had demobilised under the Havana peace accords finally agreed last year.
