On 13 October 2025, Yendri Velásquez and Luis Peche, Venezuelan human rights defenders, suffered an armed attack in Bogotá. More than three months later, they continue to depend on temporary and limited protection measures provided by the National Protection Unit (UNP in Spanish) and the Mayor’s Office of Bogotá, despite UNP’s vowing to implement comprehensive and stable protection measures after the attack. We urge the Colombian authorities to ensure full and effective protection for Yendri and Luis.
