Colombia: Farmers demand right of return to lands taken for palm oil consortium  http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?llr=axvmabeab&v=001VJlu5GGZPDShskItU8JnKNygSkKxM98Q-0X83UewgFqDUjLx3cRhHCeZpaY0bAhbsfs9JpVZzUGH6VxgdRZoLVYhIFMfITXcAcXQe6lL2qQ=

We, the community of The Farmers Association of Buenos Aires (ASOCAB), have been victims of forced displacement by paramilitary groups and alleged drug trafficker, Jesus Emilio Escobar, who was owner of the Las Pavas estate. Several years after Emilio Escobar left the farm and the community had already established food crops, he reappeared to remove us by force and sell the land to the Consortium Labrador. This consortium is comprised of the companies San Isidro SA Contributions and C.I. Tequendama SA, which is part of the DAABON group. They are dedicated to the implementation of extensive oil palm cultivation and caused our last displacement in 2009 with the consent of the municipal, regional and national government by using an illegal political process. They expelled us from Las Pavas with the assistance of the National Police and perpetrating the crime of forced displacement.
