SEND A MESSAGE NOW TO THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT

Presidente

Gustavo

Petro

Presidencia de Colombia

I write to you today to ask that you guarantee the life, security, and protection of human rights defenders in Colombia. 
 
Yuly, María, Jani, Joel, and the members of the organization CREDHOS are brave individuals. Together with their communities in Catatumbo, Magdalena Medio, Meta, and Putumayo, they contribute to guaranteeing life, ending the violence in Colombia, and protecting natural resources. These defenders continue to be persecuted, threatened, surveilled, and each day run the risk of being assassinated for raising their voices to denounce the economic and political interests that attack human rights and the environment.  
 
Colombia has a historic opportunity to change the situation of human rights defenders in the country. 
 
The right to defend human rights is essential for guaranteeing the rights of all persons in Colombia. Their government must implement public policies that comprehensively protect defenders and bring an end once and for all to their assassination. 
 
Sincerely,

Ministro

Luis Fernando

Velasco
