A/HRC/16/22 (g) In April, Los Rastrojos allegedly recruited around 30 children for the ranks of the ELN in Puerto Berrío (Antioquia). In Caucasia (Antioquia), at least 13 children were allegedly recruited in February by Los Rastrojos, Los Paisas and Los Urabeños. In Granada (Meta), at least six children were recruited by the ERPAC. 7. Members of public security forces acted in collusion with some of these groups. (a) Tarazá (Antioquia), a National Police sergeant was arrested in April while transporting weapons for Los Urabeños. He had served 23 years with the Police and was about to retire. (b) In November, during operation “Nerón” in Montería (Córdoba), two National Police officers and three sub-officers were arrested on charges of collaborating with Los Paisas. E. Sexual violence 8. The following cases illustrate how women and girls, and occasionally men, are victims of the sexual violence generated by all parties to the conflict, as well as by illegal armed groups that emerged after the demobilization of paramilitary organisations. (a) On 16 March, a soldier from the Manosalva Batallion attempted to rape an Embera indigenous woman in Quibdó (Chocó). (b) In May, in Medio Baudó (Chocó), a sub-officer of the Marine Infantry sexually abused a 13-year-old girl. (c) In Cumaribo (Vichada), army soldiers allegedly tortured and repeatedly raped a man and a woman throughout the night on 29 July. (d) In April, in Bello (Antioquia), several cases of sexual violence against girls attributed to members of a criminal group related to illegal armed groups that emerged after demobilization of paramilitary organizations operating in the municipality were reported. (e) On 15 July, a man was raped by a group of FARC-EP guerrillas in El Bagre (Antioquia), when they found out that he was homosexual. F. Discrimination 9. Acts of violence have been registered against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons (LGBT), such as the case of the transvestite who was beaten until he became unconscious by eight police agents in the Immediate Attention Centre (CAI) in Parque Bolívar, Medellín (Antioquia) on 8 May. G. Indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian communities 10. The rights of indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian communities continue to be disproportionately affected by the internal armed conflict. In particular, their right to life and territorial and cultural rights are threatened by the presence of armed actors on their lands. (a) On 21 January, two leaders of Los Manglares Community Council were murdered in López de Micay (Cauca), allegedly by members of the FARC-EP. (b) In Puerto Libertador (Córdoba), on 4 January, a woman from the Zenú indigenous people was murdered, allegedly by members of Los Urabeños. 23
