Still an unprotected peace
More than 200 Human Rights Defenders have been killed in Colombia since the signing of the peace agreement. The situation is critical. Human Rights Defenders are being threatened, attacked and killed.
Amnesty International carried out a mission to the country with the aim of documenting cases of human rights defenders and people who exercise social leadership that are currently under threat. We identified 7 profiles of defenders who are under attack and given the lack of protection measures for the cases identified, we present the results in the form of profiles that are composed of many of the testimonies collected. We work with the plastic artist Edgar Alvarez and decided to create the characters that we present here and that will serve as a symbol of our #UnprotectedPeace campaign that demands the adoption of urgent measures of individual and collective protection that guarantee the life and work of defenders and communities at risk.
