New death threats against CREDHOS president Iván Madero Vergel
Although the progress of the peace agreements shows that building peace is possible and the end of the war is closer than ever, the Human Rights situation remains critical throughout the country and especially in the Magdalena Medio region, where it remains difficult for human rights defenders to carry out their work. The denouncements that we continue to make against armed groups and particularly against criminal gangs – which today represent the new expression of paramilitarism in the region – are evidence of the acts of surveillance, harassment, intimidation and death threats that have been occurring against members of the CREDHOS corporation.
