Colombia: Peasant Association Reports New Extrajudicial Executions

June 29, 2020

The Association of farmers in the Catatumbo region, Colombia, denounced extrajudicial executions by the Colombian army.

The ASCAMCAT Catatumbo Peasant Association denounced an alleged extrajudicial execution of the young Salvador Jaime Durán, who received 5 gunshots at the site known as Caño Totumo in the Filoguamo village, Teorama, Norte de Santander.

For its part, the Colombian army warned that the event occurred in the context of a skirmish that took place with members of irregular armed groups who commit crimes in the area.

In the midst of the situation, the population detained a non-commissioned officer and five soldiers, claiming they were allegedly involved in the incident.

The Association indicates through a statement “upon hearing the shots, the community reacted immediately, managing to see four uniformed people run from the scene, who were followed by the community, who saw them join a National Army military patrol.”
