Telephone Death Threat Made To Human Rights NGO Nomadesc In Their Cali Office

At 1.18pm, 6 January 2011, Maria Yinet Lozano (Nomadesc secretary) received a call on the office landline (local number 893 5308), in which a male voice said:

“Grass sons of bitches, we know where you are, we’re coming for you”

The caller used a constant beep on the line in order to hide their voice.  This is the 12th threat that has been made against Nomadesc and other human rights organisations in Valle del Cauca and Cauca departments in the past year. Despite the seriousness of the situation, the Colombian authorities have made no progress in identifying who and where the text messages, calls, threats and harassment are coming from. Nor have they taken measures to protect those working for the defence of human rights in the region.

Human Rights Defender Martha Giraldo followed

The same afternoon, Martha Giraldo, of the National Movement of Victims of State Crimes (MOVICE), observed a man in worker’s overalls on a high-powered motor bike, and a white jeep with tinted windows, outside her house for about 3 hours. When the bodyguards who accompany Martha approached the man on the motorbike and the white jeep to find out who the people were and what they wanted, both fled the scene immediately. The bodyguards are part of Martha’s protective security scheme from the Ministry of the Interior; they reported the incident to the homeland security agency DAS (Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad).

We are concerned that, although the repeated, frequent death threats against us have all been reported to the Colombian authorities, there has been no progress in identifying those responsible for committing and procuring the crimes.

We demand a full investigation and that those responsible are brought to justice.

REQUESTS

  • Please write to the Colombian government as soon as possible to demand a full investigation to establish as soon as possible who is responsible for the threats, and to bring them to justice (see below for contact details)
  • Please demand that the Colombian government take immediate action to protect the lives of all those being threatened, and those of their families.
  • Please demand that the Colombian government do all in its power to protect the work of human rights defenders in Valle del Cauca and Cauca.
  • Please demand that the Colombian government put an end to the human rights violations occurring in this area..

Please send appeals to arrive as quickly as possible  / Sus pronunciamientos los puede enviar a:

INGRESA LLAMADA AMENAZANTE

AL TELEFONO FIJO DE LA ASOCIACION NOMADESC

EN LA SEDE DE CALI 

Santiago de Cali, Enero 06 de 2011

LOS HECHOS

Siendo las 1:18 p.m. MARÍA YINET LOZANO, secretaria de la Asociación para la Investigación Acción Social NOMADESC, contestó una llamada que ingreso al número de  teléfono directo 893 53 08  de la oficina  en Santiago de Cali, en la que  una voz masculina  decía:

“Sapos Hijueputas, los tenemos ubicados, vamos por ustedes.”

Además de la amenaza una interferencia de un pito,  al parecer como de un  fax era insistente, tratando como de distorsionar la voz.

Resaltamos que con esta llamada telefónica son 12 amenazas que Nomadesc y otras organizaciones defensoras de derechos humanos del valle del cauca y cauca han  recibido en el último año sin que exista por parte de los organismos de investigación resultados concretos de la procedencia de estas llamadas, mensajes telefónicos, seguimientos y hostigamientos. Pese a la gravedad de la situación el  Estado colombiano no ha  adoptado medidas de prevención y atención que garanticen la labor de defensa de los derechos humanos.

SEGUIMIENTOS A MARTHA GIRALDO MIEMBRO DEL  MOVICE – VALLE.

Esta misma tarde la Defensora de Derechos Humanos MARTHA GIRALDO, del  Movimiento de victimas y Crímenes de Estado denuncio  un seguimiento de un hombre en una moto de alto cilindraje y  una Camioneta Blanca de vidrios polarizados que se estaciono alrededor de 3 horas frente de su residencia.

El  hombre que la conducía  la moto portaba un overol de trabajador; algunos de sus vecinos se atreven a decir que portaba  una sigla de parecida a la de  EPM en sus ropas.

MARTHA GIRALDO, cuenta con un esquema de seguridad otorgado por el Ministerio del interior, por ello  el personal encargado de su seguridad adelanto acciones para saber quién era el sujeto y que quería, pero tanto el hombre como la camioneta emprendieron la huida. Sus escoltas reportaron este hecho al Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad DAS.

Solicitud

Exigir a los organismos de investigación del estado establecer de manera inmediata la procedencia de estas llamadas y en consecuencia aplicar las medidas judiciales del caso.
