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.

Cauca, 11th May 2009
Mayerli
Alejandra Legarda Quilcue, daughter of indigenous leader Aida
Quilcue, had to flee 4 armed gunmen who were waiting for her outside
the family home on Monday the 11th of May. As Mayerli was
leaving the family home at around 6pm, she noticed the men pointing
handguns at her from a car parked in front of the house. The 12
year-old managed to flee back into the house, where she was being
accompanied by indigenous guards. The men then proceeded to drive
around the house in the car, before fleeing when they realised that
the indigenous guards were in the house.

URIBE'S
STRATEGY - DISPOSSESSION, LIES, AGRESSION, FALSE POSITIVES, JUDICIAL
FRAME-UPS
and
IMPUNITY
Santiago
de Cali, 7 April 2009
Valle
University, EMSIRVA and EMCALI are laboratories of the Uribe
government's third phase of neo-liberalism:
the
definitive handover of public commonwealth to private corporations
and the multinationals.
They
were prohibited from going to school and to university.
They
were prohibited from constitutional guarantees.
They
were prohibited from all the sciences, except military science.
Prohibiting
the right to complain, they were prohibited from questioning.
Today
I suggest to you, my brother, that
this does not happen again,
Prohibited
to Forget!
