We remain concerned by reports of threats against civil society and members of congress by the BACRIM (criminal bands).
I raised this issue with Ministers and senior officials from across the Colombian government during my visit earlier this year. More recently, our Ambassador in Bogota raised this issue on 30 September during a meeting with the Presidential High Adviser for Human Rights, Guillermo Rivera, and Rafael Blanco from the Chief Office of International Affairs. He was assured that this issue had been raised with the Attorney General\u2019s office and that they had been urged to quickly investigate in order to make a robust assessment of the context of the threats. The Colombian government has also assured us that its Ministry of the Interior is working to ensure that adequate protection measures are in place.
Our Embassy in Bogota continues to urge the Colombian government to take further measures to prevent violence and threats against human rights defenders, trades unionists, civil society and politicians and to promptly investigate human rights violations.<\/p>"}

The safety of people and communities in Northern Ireland remains this Government\u2019s highest priority. While the threat level remains at Severe, excellent co-operation between PSNI and its partners has disrupted the activity of terrorist groupings. There have been a number of significant arrests, charges and convictions which are helping to suppress the threat.<\/p>
