HC Deb 29 April 1999 vol 330 c259W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has received concerning recent harassment of human rights activists in Colombia. [82485]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

We have received representations on the problems experienced by human rights workers in Colombia, particularly those in the Uraba region, by a number of NGO's as well as from members of the public. I myself raised the issue of human rights workers and in particular the CINEP case, with the Colombian Vice-President, Gustova Bell, when he called on me on 27 April.
