“We reject these facts. It cannot be that Cauca continues to be besieged by violence, by illegal armed groups. It is urgent that the authorities redouble the measures and guarantee security and human rights. From the Cauca Regional, we follow up and provide support”, expressed the Ombudsman through its social networks.
In this same municipality, this very week, Albeiro Camayo Güetio, former coordinator of the indigenous guard and community leader from northern Cauca, was assassinated.
As explained by the Association of Indigenous Councils of North Cauca (ACIN), the armed attack was perpetrated last Monday, January 24, by the Farc dissidence, the mobile column ‘Jaime Martínez’, in the sector known as La Primavera.
This Thursday, the Prosecutor’s Office announced its inspection visit to the place where the leader was assassinated. With this, the authorities hope to collect evidence that can contribute to clarifying the crime.
