Colombia's Classroom Wars: Political violence against education sector trade unions

Colombia's Classroom Wars: Political violence against education sector trade unions, reveals the rights violations including murders, disappearances, torture, death threats, forced displacement, arbitrary detention of teachers and education workers in Colombia. The report argues that the violation of the political and civil rights of educators in Colombia by state and state-supported paramilitary organisations is carried out precisely with the intention of silencing the very organisations and individuals that are actively defending the economic, social and cultural rights of their members and the broader Colombian society.
