Rightist Gangs Murdering Trade Unionists in Colombia

[Joanne98]

In the wake of recent mass demonstrations against state and paramilitary violence across Colombia, four trade union activists who helped coordinate the events were brutally murdered.

Convened by the National Movement of Victims of State Crimes (MOVICE), the March 6 mobilization denounced the complicity of the Uribe regime with paramilitary gangsters, aided and abetted by the Bush administration’s on-going sponsorship of rightist atrocities through Plan Colombia.

According to the Center for International Policy, MOVICE organizer Iván Cepeda Castro reported in the Colombian weekly El Espectador, that the assassinated union leaders were:

* Carmen Cecilia Carvajal, teacher. Killed 4 March, in Ocaña, Norte de Santander.

2. I'll hand it to the right wingers here

they've managed to kill off the unions without actually murdering the members. That's Compassionate Conservatism, I guess.

Bushies love their Death Squads.

The only question left is: will Emperor Jeb or George P. oversee a similar structure here in 20 years?

I'd put it at 50/50 right now.
