This is a transcription of a post (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=405)
Norma Irene Pérez was one of the organizers of the visit by Euro-deputies and a U.S. delegation of labor leaders to La Macarena, the largest common grave in Latin America, on 22 July. She was a leading human rights activists in the Meta region where La Macarena is located.
Today her body was identified after she was kidnapped on Aug. 7 (the day JM Santos was inaugurated). She had been shot to death. Her body was found Aug. 13 but not identified until today.
On July 25, three days later after the Euro-U.S. delegations visit, Álvaro Uribe visited the military base bordering the common grave and said that "spokespersons for terrorism" were trying to discredit the armed forces.
It amounted to a death sentence for Norma Irene; on Aug. 7 during the Santos inauguration media hoopla she was kidnapped and killed. She leaves behind three daughter, ages 14, 6, 4 and a boy, 9.
There is a climate of intense fear among the people who talked to the Euro and U.S. delegations at the public meeting in La Macarena.
