Our Embassy in Bogotá takes every opportunity to urge the Colombian government to
take further measures to prevent violence and threats against human rights defenders
and trade unionists. Our Ambassador in Bogotá raised concerns about human rights defenders
with the Colombian Interior Minister on 1 February and with the Presidential Advisor
for Human Rights on 4 February. Furthermore, this year we are funding a Colombian
NGO to develop protection measures for human rights defenders in rural areas. Our
Embassy will continue to raise these issues in regular meetings with the Colombian
government.
