Displaced and Discarded: The Plight of Internally Displaced Persons in Bogotá and Cartagena

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: The Colombian government has failed to protect the basic human rights of millions displaced by the country’s armed conflict. The report shows how displaced families are often denied access to education, emergency healthcare and humanitarian aid. Families interviewed describe fleeing their homes after receiving threats, being subjected to torture, or seeing relatives or neighbors killed.pdf: www.hrw.org/english/docs/2005/10/14/colomb11864.htm
