you can visit our website for the latest on our top story. stay tuned. the stream is up next. so we look at the reasons why columbia is the world's deadliest country for those wanting to protect human rights, and what's being done about it. ah, joining us, joining us from bogota, laura benita, deputy director of the perez foundation, that the latin american think tank specializing in conflict analysis. also bogota inigo, alexander. he's a columbia based journalist covering human rights and social justice and in dub, also at the table. if you're watching this on youtube, check it out. we have a live stream producer waiting. there are men will try to speak. oh, no loud about it to re korea console of the via lancers and face. so that's why

right now for that type of violence in the station in columbia. so dramatic for human rights defenders and also for so she'll be, there's actually day. so shelby there's and a human rights defenders. a used to be the same person in the field, and so may be also find that 3 somewhat up to know 100 as a these keisha's. but speaking of a 186 cases there, i actually want to put a, a face on some of those names rather than just being numbers. so sarah, you're part of frontline defenders. we, we've gone to your website here and, you know, just looking at it, it's broken down by country. you look at columbia and look at these faces, attempted killing, new death threat. why was he killed? now think just for, for bringing to flow into this conversation, then definitely, i think when we have numbers more than reporting a number of cases,

we want to bring the memory of those who are the kids. and so a story of why they would kill it. so when the keys will still look when he was actually killed together with another defender short hold on, but go and they were killing the february last year. the 2 of them were company seen those leaders sometimes in english, not the best thing that people use had been in the context of latin america company seeing what translates better the kinds of community rules that they are looking at . so in both of them, subjects it to and only 2 days before they would kill it. they was again a public that now on the death threats they were being subjected to because it is as far as convenient to the fast part of community organize. and i think the keys are often lou again, it also shows the pastor of the criminalization of human rights defenders in the case of below b. so they often was actually detained in 2020. and that shows

a story like he was saying he received that stress. and then finally he was to which i think for the lack of effective protection for human rights to send. there's a tree in that conference. and then another case that we want to look into and they go, can you tell us about this 14 year old boy who was killed in galka? yeah, that case was one, the restrict, according to clear last here took place 30 in the year in january. right. at the start of the year, he's one of the 1st few him, right? kind of that in particular case, environmental defender to who was murdered and the strike thing about the cases. his age was just 14 shot dead in the region of south south west of the country. and he was murdered when he was taking part in the traditional patrol of one of the indigenous territories which he lived. and he's part of the indigenous guard, which is but a national organization known on group. and they tustin selves with trying to

protect their own territory and trying to defend the community and the causes from potential threats and risk. because a lot of those, the business which is to live in areas of the country which are heavy presence of our groups. and as a consequence, suffer quite a lot of termination violence and he was unfortunately killed when they were ambushed. his patrol was ambush him and he was going on with his father who i believe survived. but another member was also killed. and they just faced open fire in the small rural area of, of galka when they were just trying to troll and, and provide a minimum the degree of protection and insecurity to hon. communities. they'd heard that there was a legit presence of armed groups in the community. the patrol went down to try and see what was going on and just try and see if they could come down situation or at least provide some degree of protection to the communities. and as a result they, they just and young thing that unfortunate or killed just goes to show

a lot of the, a lot of the killings are just, you know, i'm probably done talking to the tax that just take lines of you know, some people like like dana, who is 14 year old who was just taking part of his patrol and tried to defend his community and tried to force the environment. and as a result of being part of that patrol in that community, he was approached her audience to understand. they were not armed. it was just basically, they're there, right? yes, miss dodd, this is barbara. yes. sorry, nico. well, i'm the i started to say the into just got is, is as just were saying not in our group. i'm then on pacific group and they just the patrol. the areas just provide us with the minimum level of safety and security from those threats, which as i mentioned before and load the indigenous areas and groups have quite a heavy right, right. so just the presence of arms, of sort of unarmed, rather indigent patrols. hey guys, i want to turn that. yeah, i want to bring in

a some reporting. this is done by my friend and colleague alessandro rashadi, who's down in a book at our reports from columbia for al jazeera english on our new side. and he interviewed oscar some pio, who's environmental activists from there, and i want to share this piece of video. oscar told us that he's been threatened by criminals. he claims are responsible for dumping toxic waste in agricultural or protected areas near to city, but lack of better me. her. the government has provided him with a day time body guard a flat jacket in a panic button. but he says the security measures are no match for the armed groups who operate with impunity, which as was older, we escape the government institutions. they should be, are recourse, the regional attorney, general inspector general the own batsmen. often that the upper way because they have been collected by the criminal group, c, r. laura, there's a couple of things i want to touch on there. i eventually wanna move to impunity,

which has brought up idea of it. but even before that, i think it was in your pre interview. you told us something along the lines that the violence is the economy. yes. can you, can you explain height? yes. so many people, especially, you know, i used to work with a swedish organization for so many g as a most of the people of psycho longer belief that this is michelle. no, not at school. so the, for any legal economies and the solution to all of that is just, you know, and or 5 day legal economies of the cream. and i look on the find here is that we don't call this same conflict that another cone please. which and not of course we, they are on maybe the bus but where, you know, we have the not, of course in one place, we have met groups silly, the vial inserted. so basically all the groups go really far,

many tardies primaries. army groups are sally like a therapy, so bio list and perfection. so i personally know some michael leak and i am from the same region. so what is the point with that? this is a pretty good case to explain their socio and be there's a mentor be there's are again, you know, some kind of contamination. so people who are constantly, they think they are not taking direct leaders, they hire some group or de, give money to some group. and that group, for instance, in the region, the petroleum region that group does need to move and are called the place of the concert, sound the country for them. it's more easier to go with today. the economy of petroleum calling on me, all, any kind of oil and then g, and try to extract that resources calling them. and if you just finish,

they're not put off right now we are in a high crisis. economic crisis. no, no, not. it's not now a good business in columbia, so people are suffering in the field. you know, they don't have anything to buy the whole cup of crops. so why are still define this? because the 2nd group that we know that before of the square feet on, on groups that are often times carrying out these kings, they know they can get a, they know they can get away with them. they know that they're operating in areas where they are basically the de facto government. and they can do as they please, especially in terms of dealing with a opposition voices or any resistance elicit economies. so there has been long history of impunity. and i just want to bring up a point that some of the mentioned is a video, which is the state protection system. they've had the national protection unit part, the ministry of interior here in columbia,

which provides protection to people in the threats. people are perceived perceived harm, but that's basically the go to mechanism and it's not an effective one. last year was given a budget of just over a $1000000.00, i believe, which in the grants can think there's not a lot. and it's also a very inefficient, very slow process. i've spoken to a number defenders who are allegedly protected under that program, but have voice for months and months and months amongst the received the section. and the protection is fairly minimal in the grad school. things again, like i mentioned in the video, maybe that proves that protecting the program. so that means the problem has a number of limitations. and i think in the context of columbia, it's really important to think to then defy exactly who are those defenders who are being killed when we look at this number up to a 100, a to 6 cases. or the case has been collected, verified, and in the case of columbia, very important innovation to sing the fact that you can access it, but it's not everywhere. it's not consistent across the country. so i think you go

to fled as correctly. and i'm sure loud also has been based on camera. so we have this comment. this is from one who's a guzman is a climate justice activist in new york city. i can forward to you on behalf of the community. i'm very fond of in northern columbia that chosen not to show their faces because they feel threatened by aren't groups and the region. these are groups are establishing new territorial control over this period. it lands between peasants, indigenous communities, and tourist development in northern columbia. these are improves on only enticing violence, but seek to control this land to be able to carry weapons to traffic drugs, and to be able to exploit natural resources. so chess land would and minds, local communities have gone, have come forward to the government,

asking for support and for help. local authorities fear these armed groups and the central columbia govern h o l b. maybe this will sound simple, but it's not simple to do that with no 1st, they impunity have a lot to do with our families. so people in bacteria can not use beloved hello started to protect themselves. so they have to of course. but if you do anything, something that's an increase, but i'm at the said that she 3 she but if say bar groups want to keep the 33 i was control of and the situation. so i want to bring in a video comment. this is from shrewd to being forced this place of political understanding of the issues of protection is the same as the sites in columbia. so i don't think we have knowledge to offer what we have to offer. it's so long, ah,

a inequality, corruption, repression and re, the political, it just decided to cut to the piece of cake and shirt. i want to be a documentary, explores the desperate stage of democracy in lebanon. a through the eyes of those who are losing hope every day our teams are becoming blue. democracy, maybe democracy for sale on al jazeera, freight companies, vic passports, international banks and the proceeds of organized crime. that was his bag. thea lay valenzuela ward and some of the both of you. but a female friction a was over his like in

a remarkable 3 part. people empower investigation into a complex, secretive world. 2 journalists go in search of italian mafioso dirty money. launderer parked one on a, jesse uta, the levy breach on the powder river is widening that's ominous for the town of pyro downstream. as more storms bear down on the farming community this week, out of 1700 residents were told to evacuate. the county of monterey has performed more than 170 high water rescue. as a result of this sliding, these storms are the result of atmospheric rivers, long currents of waste, your in the air that caused rain and snow fall. california has experienced no less than 10, such once rare phenomenon since january an impact of climate change and a probable trend into the future. ah,

the w i chose is 270 people have been killed and more than 2 and a half 1000 injured. and sued.
