Leader of Displaced People Killed in Colombia

BOGOTA – The president of an association of displaced people in northeastern Colombia was murdered inside her house in the city of Bucaramanga, the Alternative Democratic Pole, or PDA, party’s committee in Santander province said Sunday.

Elizabeth Silva Aguilar was murdered by some hooded men who “entered her humble dwelling” on Friday in Bucaramanga, the capital of Santander, the PDA said. Silva Aguilar, a member of the leftist party, was the head of the Association of Homeless and Displaced People in the city, the PDA said.

Three members of the association were murdered June 22, while unidentified assailants threw a grenade last month at dwellings in the settlement, the PDA said.

The attacks are apparently being carried out by “recycled paramilitaries who supposedly demobilized,” the PDA said.
