A/HRC/13/72 (f) In Chocó, on 17 August, 117 people from an Afro-Colombian community were displaced due to confrontations between two illegal armed groups for the control of the Bajo Baudó River area; (g) Between 5 and 20 September, military operations carried out by the army against the illegal armed group “Los Rastrojos” caused the displacement of approximately 50 families in Bolívar (Valle del Cauca); (h) During 2009, in Barrancón (Guaviare), several displaced groups from various indigenous peoples (Jiw/Guayabero, Nukak Makú) still lacked access to drinking water and health care was only provided once a month. In addition, the ability of the school to provide education was insufficient to cover all needs. Poverty and economic, social and cultural rights As shown below, poverty and extreme poverty, inequality and the internal armed conflict continue to restrict enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights: (a) It has been reported that the inhabitants of the rural area of San José del Guaviare, near the Guayabero River (Guaviare), were denied health care by municipal authorities on the grounds that they were members of guerrilla groups or their collaborators; (b) In some rural areas of Guaviare, several education institutions lack infrastructure and proper sanitary conditions, as well as study materials. Several teachers abandoned such institutions because of fear for their lives, as a result of the intensity of the internal armed conflict in the region. Discrimination As shown below, attacks against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community have been on the rise in cities such as Bogotá and Medellín. Moreover, cases have been registered of attacks and massacres against members of indigenous peoples, as well as lack of and unsuitable free, prior and informed consultation: (a) Cases of abuse attributed to members of the National Police against the LGBT community in various communes of Medellín (Antioquia) have been reported; (b) In April, in Bogotá, the manager of a bar regularly attended by members of the LGBT community was physically and verbally assaulted. He also received death threats by unidentified individuals. The victim had previously received a threatening pamphlet from the so-called “Chapinero Social Cleansing Group, for a society free of gays”; (c) Three indigenous communities of Chocó and Antioquia requested the suspension of the exploratory works for the “Careperro” mine in their territories. In some cases, the requests were made on the basis of lack of prior consultation and, in others, on the basis of irregularities in the process. Furthermore, the army entered the indigenous territories to provide protection to the construction of a heliport on a place considered as sacred by the communities; (d) On 2 August, an indigenous leader from the Inga Villa Catalina indigenous territory of Puerto Guzmán (Putumayo) was killed by unknown individuals. The victim had been leading a consultation process since 2006 for the exploitation of 18 oil deposits located in the indigenous territory. As a result of the killing, and several threats against other indigenous leaders of the region, the Permanent Working Table of the Inga Indigenous Peoples of Puerto Guzmán withdrew from the consultation process; 30 GE.10-11819
