Colombia: 69 Activists Killed Year to Date
  • 9 years ago
Although the level of fighting in Colombia's civil war is down, activists are still at risk. UN Human Rights Coordinator Fabrizio Hochschild reported that 69 human rights activists, community leaders, and politicians had been assassinated so far in 2015, more than double last year's figure. He said leftist leaders were particularly at risk in the lead up to the country's regional elections in October. teleSUR
