Colombia awash in blood after a year under Santos: the terror statistics by Colectivo por la paz con justicia http://www.tlaxcala-int.org/article.asp?reference=5878

How much pain, dispossession, how many tears, disappearances, political prisoners and torture are needed for the world to stop its conspiratorial indulgence of the Colombian regime? The figures of those who have been killed, tortured, imprisoned and disappeared, as well as the impunity laws for paramilitaries, the submission to multinational corporations and continuous plunder clearly show the government's genocidal nature.Since the 7th of August, 36 Human Rights defenders have been killed, along with 18 agrarian leaders who demanded the restitution of violently seized lands to those who had been working them, along with 28 union members (1); thousands more have received death threats. Also, scores of political opponents who were either members of leftist parties or part of communitarian organizations of social, housing or students have been killed or disappeared.
