DESCRIPTION:A panel discussion with: Adriana Elisa Parra (Activist with the 
 Ruta\nPacifica de la Mujeres), Jutta Meier-Weidenbach (Fellowship 
 of\nReconciliation, Colombia Program Coordinator), Kelli Corrigan 
 (Peace\nBrigades International volunteer in Bogota this past year).\n\nEach 
 day, the internal armed conflict in Colombia worsens. The breakdown 
 in\npeace talks promises has escalated this violence. Political killings 
 and\nforced internal displacement are on the rise. Human rights workers 
 have\nbecome the civilian population's last line of defense against 
 repression and\nviolence. Because of their brave efforts, these activists 
 themselves have\ncome under fire. In the last five years alone, Amnesty 
 International reports\nthat Colombian armed factions -primarily illegal 
 army-backed paramilitary\ngroups- have assassinated more than thirty human 
 rights defenders.\n\nIn this panel discussion, speakers will focus on the 
 current political and\nhuman rights context in Colombia and about some of 
 the courageous people and\ngroups working for peace and human rights 
 there.\n\nSponsored by Peace Brigades International, Fellowship of 
 Reconciliation,\nGlobal Exchange, and INS Watch. Suggested donation: $5, no 
 on turned away\nfor lack of funds.\n\nFor more information, contact: \n
