In 2005, a female lawyer, who is a human rights defender, received at home a package reading “For my beloved daughter” with a puppet and a note: “You have a beautiful family, take care of it and do not sacrifice it”. The puppet had the head and the arms separated from the body, a broken leg and torn clothes. The puppet also had the pelvic area painted in red, like blood, and a cross on the chest, with cigarette burns on one of the arms, the back and the eyes; (d) A journalist, who is a human rights defender, has been the subject of threats since she started investigating the murder of prominent journalist Jaime Garzón in 1999. As a result, she and her young daughter had to leave the country in 2004. In 2009, OHCHRColombia learned that at least one of the threats was ordered and executed by DAS. Human rights defenders, journalists and trade unionists The following are illustrative cases of killings, threats, arbitrary detentions, sexual offences, break-ins into homes and offices and information theft directed against human rights defenders, which have been attributed to members of illegal armed groups that emerged after the paramilitary demobilization and guerrilla groups, in particular the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-People’s Army (FARC-EP), as well as, in some cases, members of security forces: (a) In May, in Arauca, the Attorney General’s Office released a prominent human rights defender, who had been in detention for more than six months on rebellion charges. No evidence was found against him; (b) In Antioquia and Santander, five peasant leaders were released as evidence was not enough to proceed against them. They were detained for periods between 5 and 16 months; (c) A human rights defender, who was detained in Sucre more than a year ago, is still in detention. He was accused of criminal association with paramilitary groups, although he himself had denounced these groups. The prosecutor who ordered the detention is under investigation for corruption; (d) Between February and March, pamphlets proffering threats against sectors of the population appeared in at least 24 of the 32 departments in the country. These pamphlets, designed in a standard format, were distributed in just two weeks in places as distant as Armenia, Barranquilla, Bogotá, Chocó, Cúcuta, Medellín and Valle del Cauca. The document promoted the so-called “social cleansing” of, among others, sex workers, homosexuals, drug addicts and persons with HIV. The pamphlets warned that “[whoever] is found […] after 10 p.m. [in the streets], we are not responsible”, ordered people to “spend more time with their family” and demanded “forgiveness from society if innocents are killed”; (e) At the beginning of May, threatening pamphlets were distributed in Cesar, La Guajira and Magdalena. The pamphlets referred to “a gang of lawyers, public officials from Social Action, the Ombudsman’s Office, municipal ombudsmen and leaders of displaced persons” as criminals, because they defended the rights of internally displaced persons. The pamphlets threatened to “eradicate them”; (f) On 17 and 24 February, unidentified individuals forced their way into the offices of two organizations undertaking social work in Commune 13 and north-eastern Medellín and stole only the hard drives of the computers containing information on their work; GE.10-11819 23
