Description
Summary:This article shows the research results which aims at proving the dramatic situation of a region in Colombia which has become one of the war scenarios, on the part of paramilitary groups, against leaders, social activists or political militants or dissidents. For the last 25 years, there have been a hundred killings or so of union workers linked with Worker's Union (USO) and in order to understand this phenomenon, it is necessary to define the historic context and point out how Paramilitarism appeared and expanded throughout Magdalena Medio at the beginning of the 1980's, which was financed and sponsored by different sectors of the Colombian society. It is necessary to highlight that the attack against union workers is a crime against humanity, both in Colombia and the rest of the world.
