Alleged members of Colombia’s largest paramilitary organization AGC threatened to kill judges of the war crimes tribunal.
According to the Special Jurisdiction of Peace (JEP), magistrate Alejandro Ramelli and his assistant Hugo Escobar were threatened with death.
In a WhatsApp message sent to Ramelli, the AGC allegedly declared the two magistrates a “military objective” for “digging up a past that is already buried.”
The JEP called on the prosecution to investigate the threat and urged on the government of President Gustavo Petro to make progress in the dismantling of illegal armed groups like the AGC.
