National early warning for social leaders

Under the protection of this alert we have been following up on the case of Herazo, who had a relative killed and he associated him with these threats to intimidate him.

Herazo has been the victim of threats on other occasions, for several cases of land restitution in Pelaya.

From the Ombudsman’s Office there is a National early warning for social leaders, whose process is being monitored.

The warnings in these pamphlets took Luis Aguilar, a law student, by surprise, who requested the necessary support from the pertinent authorities since his life is at risk.

“This is the first time that they have threatened me. Which surprises me, because in my house nobody is a politician. Everything comes because I commented in a meeting that the current political class does not represent us. Now, irresponsibly, these pamphlets are circulating and exposing us danger. I want the authorities to guarantee us the right to live in peace and freedom of expression,” stressed Aguilar.
