North Colombia neo-paramilitary group sends death threat ahead of strike

North Colombia neo-paramilitary group sends death threat ahead of strike

A neo-paramilitary group on Wednesday sent out a pamphlet in northern Colombia, threatening to kill anyone who joins a national strike called for Monday.

A pamphlet was sent out in the municipalities of Segovia and Remedios, Antioquia, by “Bajo Cauca’s Pacifiers Bloc – Seguridad Heroes del Nordeste” (SHN), reportedly a dissident group of the Rastrojos, in which they declared as “military targets” all those who take part in the strike.

“If you participate it’s because you want to support the Left,” the pamphlet says.

The pamphlet accused the head of an NGO in Antioquia of becoming rich through his support for the miners, while the leader of the farm-worker’s association was charged with deceiving people through his “Leninist ideology.”

Considering the tone of the message, calling people "Leninists" (substitute "commies" or "Marxists" or whatever) it appears whoever wrote that stupid threat also posts here at D.U., posing as a progressive, of course. What a colossal a-hole.
