“They’re killing us” Since April 28, Colombian security forces have murdered at least 37 protestors. These cops receive U.S. funding. Tell the State Department to invoke the Leahy Law - no more U.S. tax dollars to Colombia’s human rights violators! Dear friend, “They’re killing us.” That’s the message being sent by Colombians as they ask for solidarity and help in stopping the atrocities of the past week. The videos have been gut wrenching. Police criminalizing peaceful protests, terrorizing entire communities, murdering civilians at point blank range. These police are funded by U.S. taxpayers. Since 2000, the U.S. has provided over $10 billion to Colombia through a security assistance program called Plan Colombia. This money - our taxes - has not only funded the Colombian military, which has a dreadful history of atrocities, it has also funded the ESMAD, Colombia’s anti-riot police, which is responsible for most of the 37 deaths caused in the past week.
