HC Deb 04 December 1986 vol 106 c723W
Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has received about the death of Everth Marin in Colombia on 10 October.

Mr. Eggar

My right hon. and learned Friend has received a number of expressions of concern about the circumstances of Sr. Marin's death from hon. Members and other individuals and organisations.

Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what meetings Her Majesty's diplomatic representation has had with human rights groups in Colombia in the last year.

Mr. Eggar

Her Majesty's diplomatic representatives in Colombia maintain regular contacts with the Permanent Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, the most active Colombian organisation in this field. They also have close contacts with the human rights section of the Attorney-General's office, a body independent of the Colombian Government, set up earlier in 1986.
