On 1 June, a leaflet supposedly signed by the armed group Autodefensas Conquistadoras de la Sierra Nevada (ACSN) was publicly distributed, threatening the lives of several people in Puerto Wilches, a municipality in the Santander department, in Colombia’s Magdalena Medio region. Those threatened included several members of the human rights NGO CREDHOS. We call on the Attorney General to carry out prompt, thorough and effective investigations into those responsible for these threats, bring them to justice, and prevent further attacks against people defending human rights in Magdalena Medio.
