In Colombia, a leading activist for Colombians displaced by paramilitary groups has been killed in a targeted attack. Rogelio Martinez was shot dead near his home in Sucre province on Tuesday. The fifty-one-year-old Martinez was in the midst of a dispute with a paramilitary group over a large farm inhabited by over fifty families. It was at least the thirty-fourth killing of a displaced leader in Colombia since 2002.
