URGENT ACTION!
From the human rights team of the Process of Black Communities and other organisations:
6th August is the date fixed for the eviction of the black community
in La Toma, in the Suárez municipality in north Cauca, Colombia. La
Toma´s Afro-descendant inhabitants have been declared ´squatters in bad
faith´ in a legal possession order taken out by Raúl Fernando Ruiz
Ordoñez and Jesús Sarria. Yet the presence of black communities on
these lands dates from 1636, since when they have worked small gold
mines which is today the only means of subsistence for hundreds of
families.
