written by Adriaan Alsema August 31, 2016

Bogota’s homeless people are being fed poisoned food, the human rights office of Colombia’s capital told the city council on Tuesday.

The capital district’s human rights coordinator, Carmen Teresa Castañeda told the council that several human rights officials have received complaints about the allegedly intentional poisoning of street dwellers.

“We know … that through the indiscriminate provision of food to these people they are being given poison and harmful substances,” Castañeda was quoted as saying by newspaper El Tiempo.

This has always been dealt put by the paramilitaries (the military-associated right-wing death squads) and later, the neo-paramilitaries which were created by forming smaller bands of the same people and giving them new names, like "Black Eagles," (Aguilas Negros).

Colombia’s ‘social cleansing’ phenomenon: Exterminating people like bugs

written by Thomas Graham April 21, 2016

Legal authorities continue to turn a blind eye to so-called “social cleansing” practices that kill hundreds of “undesirables” in Colombia’s urban areas every year.

Social cleansing killings have a long, bloody history in Colombia’s major cities. For the most part they remain unsolved, yet to human rights monitors they are part of a vicious crusade against society’s “disposables,” targeting vagrants, criminals, prostitutes, drug addicts, homosexuals and anyone deemed undesirable.

A new study from the National Center for Historical Memory and the National University indicates that social cleansing between 1988 and the first half of 2013 has left 4,928 bodies in its wake. However, state agencies do not report the same findings.

Human rights groups assert that these killings are carried our by vigilante groups who often attack in cycles, during which they target specific groups of people. Sometimes pamphlets are distributed beforehand, imposing curfews and making explicit threats. The marked bodies of their victims are often left to serve as deterrents.
