RCN TV La Mañana interview with Senior Associate Andrew Hudson (Español)

Human Rights Firsts report, Baseless Prosecutions of Human Rights Defenders in Colombia: In the Dock and Under the Gun, examines the use of politically motivated criminal charges to harass, stigmatize, and endanger human rights defenders in Colombia. It is based on an analysis of 32 cases using primary documents as well as extensive interviews with government officials and human rights defenders. The first thorough review of the problem and its root causes, the report reveals a clear pattern of judicial mistreatment and persecution.
