We denounce the government of Colombia’s systematic persecution of the popular movement, human rights advocates, and social movement and ethnic leaders as a manifestation of the prevailing state terrorism in our country.

As of April 20, more than 30 persons belonging to social movement organizations, some of them former mayors and councillors in the departments of Nariño, Cauca, and Valle del Cauca were arrested as part of ongoing attempts to criminalize protest and social mobilization.

Here is the information and analysis bulletin on extractivism here and in Colombia of the Project Accompaniment Solidarity Colombia: La Piedra!

Impregnation of a soil croma performed in a Cali artisanal laboratory, April 2, 2018. The result shows a strong presence of organic material and minerals, however, not available due to soil compaction. In other words, the nutrients that make up a soil are visually present but for lack of balance and energy (aeration, access to water), they remain in disharmonies: the different zones are clearly distinguishable. For more information, see chapter II of Jairo Restrepo's book.

This bulletin consists of an electronic version (below), but also a PDF version that we invite you to print and distribute in your circles. We also encourage you to invite you your allies and subscribe to this email list to receive this bulletin, news from our activities and “urgent action” when injustices occur in Colombia that are attributable to the actions of Canadian companies.

We put you on this list because you were on our old mailing lists or we think you should be interested to follow our activities.
