On 18 November, the presidents of the communal associations of El Porvenir and Matarratón, in Puerto Gaitán (Meta), received WhatsApp messages from the same telephone number requesting meetings and information about community members, accompanied by a video showing the murder and dismemberment of a person. The sender’s profile photo depicted a member of a Colombian non-State armed group. These peasant’s communities are victims of land dispossession and forced displacement, and they have faced threats and attacks for demanding their territorial rights. We urge the Attorney General’s Office to conduct robust and effective investigations to bring those responsible to justice.
