As you busily attack those in solidarity with the people of Colombia, people continue to die at the hands of your buddy Alvaro Uribe. On February 10th, the President denounces a demonstration organised by National Movement of Victims of State Crimes (MOVICE) as being organised by the guerrillas. Over the course of the March people die.
* Carmen Cecilia Carvajal, teacher. Killed 4 March, in Ocaña, Norte de Santander.* Leonidas Gómez Rozo, member of the bankworkers union, Unión Nacional de Empleados Bancarios (Uneb), president of the CITY-BANK Branco. Killed on 5 March, in Bogotá.
* Gildardo Gómez Alzate, teacher and activist of the Asociación de Institutores de Antioquia (Adida). Killed 7 March, in Medellín.
* Carlos Burbano, vice-president of the Hospitalworkers Union, Asociación Nacional de Trabajadores Hospitalarios. Killed 11 March, San Vicente del Caguán, Caquetá.
Carlos Burbano…was disappeared on 9 March in San Vicente del Caguán. He had led the local March 6 demonstration. His corpse was found at the municipal rubbish dump with his face disfigured by acid.1
Meanwhile, our government and others around the world continue to ignore the fact that the majority of atrocities in Colombia continue to be attributable to the government and its proxies, continuing to feed this brutal regime guns and money.
