Colombia Zes recente moorden op advocaten

Door verschillende bronnen werd L4L geattendeerd op zes recente moorden op advocaten in Colombia. Eduardo Antonio Almario Martinez en Daniel Alejandro Almario Calderon werden vermoord op 24 januari 2013, Amaury Manuel Saez Coronado werd verminkt en vermoord aangetroffen op 7 maart 2013 nadat hij op 4 februari was verdwenen, Jorge Juan Gomez Guerrero werd vermoord op 28 februari 2013, Jhonny Alberto Balarezo Ortiz werd vermoord op 1 maart en Diego Luis Garcia Gonzalez werd vermoord op 21 maart.
Het aantal moorden op advocaten in Colombia is zorgwekkend. Lawyers for Lawyers doet een beroep op de Colombiaanse regering om de moorden te onderzoeken.
