allegedly brought children to a recent opposition-led rally. According to the
information received, on 12 January 2013, opposition parties organized a

Alegaciones de un atentado contra la vida de un sacerdote y defensor de
derechos humanos. Según las informaciones recibidas, el 13 de febrero de
2013 el coche en el que viajaba el Padre Alberto Franco recibió el impacto
de tres balas de pistola en su parabrisas. Asimismo, el Padre Franco habría
sido objeto de seguimiento y actos de intimidación en el pasado en conexión
con su trabajo y declaraciones públicas sobre la devolución de predios
colectivos en Curbaradó. El Padre Franco forma parte de la Comisión
Intereclesial de Justicia y Paz, organización que trabaja en la promoción y
defensa de los derechos humanos en Colombia. Esta organización vendría
siendo victima de una campaña de desprestigio, acusándoles de tener
conexiones con un grupo para-militar. Dicha campaña se habría
presuntamente intensificado en conexión con un caso ante la Corte
Interamericana impulsado por la organización.
