Plan to the murder trade unionists in Colombia
The director of the department for human rights of the Colombian trade union federation CUT informed the national and international public about the existence of a strange plan. This plan is to murder trade unionists who are critical towards the current negotiations between government and paramilitaries in Colombia.

The plan has been developed in Ralito (place of the negotiations between paramilitaries and government) by the members of the 17.th and 13.th Brigade of the Colombian army and parts of the drug trade.

Part of the plan has been implemented on 2nd of March with the assassination of the oil trade unionist Rafael Cabarcas Cabarcas and its bodyguard in Cartagena and the threats on the 3rd of March this year against the president of the trade union Sinaltraproal Duban Antonio Velez in Antioquia.

Furthermore the plan is directed against

Jesus Tovar (vice-president of the CUT Atlantico),
Evelio Mancera (president of Sintraimagra Atlántico),
Pedro Baron (president of the CUT - Tolima),
members of Sintraunicol Valle,
Carlo Gonzales and Ariel Diaz (the CUT human right-assigned Valle),
Miguel Fernandez (president of the CUT Cauca) and
Edgar Mojica (oil trade union USO).

However, main aim of the plan is Domingo Tovar Arrieta, the director of the department for human rights of the Colombian trade union federation CUT. For some time Tovar is followed daily by cars and mofas without number plates, different persons observe his housing, ask for him, photograph and film the house. Domingo Tovar described these occurrences already in person to the Colombian vice-president Franzisco Santos and other member of the Colombian government. Tovar calls for international human rights groups and trade unions and for democratic governments urgently not to give up on the pursued trade unions in Colombia but to support them!
