Voices of COLOMBIA IN LIVERPOOL MONDAY 14TH
Dave G | 07.06.2004 09:45 | Liverpool
Over 7,000 political assassinations are carried out in Colombia every year as activists resist the privatisation of all aspects of life.
67% of the people live below the poverty line, and Uribe’s government is cracking down on all dissent. The US military intervention now threatens Venezuela and the whole Andean region.

Many activists have become aware of the struggles of Colombian trade unionists. But less is known of the struggles of black, indigenous, Christian and community organisations that resist the World Bank, IMF and Colombian government economic reforms that serve to open up the country to multinational corporations, increase poverty, fuel the armed conflict and drive millions off their lands.
Come and hear first hand accounts from the Colombian social movement and help make their invisible struggles visible.
