The Army Operation Stained with Civilian Blood



In Colombia, the duties of the State regarding security, life, and dignity of peasants, indigenous peoples, Afro-descendant communities, and other vulnerable populations in the peripheral regions of the country have not only been omitted but also violated by the institutional forces. Since Here We Draw the Line is committed to building collective memory and to amplifying the voices of those who call for peace, social justice, and the protection of human rights in Colombia, we present a translation of Vorágine's article: The Army Operation Stained with Civilian Blood about the massacre of Puerto Leguízamo, Putumayo, that was committed on the 28th of March, 2022. Our goal is to raise awareness and remember that almost nine months have passed since these horrific events where civilians were killed and stigmatised as criminals to justify an irregular army operation, and that the Colombian society still has not received any answers.

What do we do?

We work in the development of cultural and artistic activities to promote the defence of the Colombian social leader’s life and integrity.

About us

We are a collective of activists based in different countries around the world. We are united by the urgency of raising international awareness of the human rights violations happening in Colombia, with the national government’s complicity. We firmly believe in the art and the active participation of individuals as a powerful tool to foster social transformations.

We promote spaces where art and critical thinking connect to make public the human rights crisis going on in Colombia, to discuss, protest and seek collective awareness. We want to stop being passive observers and instead play a role as activists; our contribution will be to inform, involve, and invite people worldwide to raise their voices against the violent events happening in Colombia.

We are a non-profit initiative and we are not affiliated with any political party.
