Colombia: Spokeswoman for Sucre chapter of National Victims' Movement Ingrid Vergara under threat

For the past ten years, 52 families that were displaced from the La Alemania farm in San Onofre, Sucre have struggled to regain their lands stolen by paramilitaries from the Heroes of Montes de Maria Block. The National Movement of Victims of State Crimes (MOVICE) Sucre chapter has accompanied these families since 2008. Members of MOVICE have also documented and publicised cases of homicides, extrajudicial executions and forced disappearances that they attribute to the Armed Forces and paramilitary groups in the region. As a result of their work, MOVICE Sucre members have paid a grave price. Ingrid Vergara discusses the aggressions that she and her colleagues have had to withstand in recent years as a result of their work.
