"Mr President, I understood your office had been notified of my intention to raise the matter regarding the Irish person, Gealóid Ó Loinsigh, who is on the run at the moment from right-wing paramilitaries. The reality, unfortunately, in Colombia at this stage is that many human rights workers, both EU citizens and nationals of Colombia too, are under threat from paramilitaries and indeed, in some cases, from state security forces. It has been reported that a young woman, Miss Blanca Valencia, has had to go into exile in Spain having received 50 death threats because of her work on behalf of the people of Colombia.
I feel the President of Parliament should raise this as a matter of urgency with the state authorities in Colombia and should look at whatever steps we can take as a Parliament to make the strongest possible protest. We should see what actions we can take in support of our protest. It is not acceptable that the citizens of Colombia and others who go there to assist in human rights investigations are either assassinated or work under the threat of assassination."@en1
