At least three victims attending peace talks with rebel group FARC and organizers of the victim participation have received death threats, according to the United Nations.
The three victims were part of the first and second round of victims who traveled to the peace talks in Havana. All death threats were allegedly signed by neo-paramilitary groups.
Of the 24 people who have so far told their stories at the talks, three “have appeared on blacklists or received mail with death threats, signed by armed groups launched by ex-paramilitaries,” said Fabrizio Hochschild, the UN’s resident coordinator in Colombia.
Seven other victims have been the target of verbal attacks on social networks, the UN official told reporters at a press conference.
