One year after the attempted murder of @yendrive, a member of @amnistia, and the activist @LuisPecheVE, we call on the Colombian state to ensure an effective investigation is conducted and justice delivered. Human Rights Defenders (HRD) and community leaders, especially in areas where armed conflict and violence continue to rage or where armed groups exert control, remain at constant risk. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has documented on average two murders of HRDs every week from 2018 to 2025 in Colombia. The Ombudswoman’s Office reported 90 killings of community leaders from Jan to July 2026. Amnesty has documented attacks against HRDs over many years, and impunity for these attacks. In addition to effective investigations, we call for protective measures that address the root causes of violence against HRDs and allow them to keep working on behalf of their communities.
