Before the illegal military intelligence against our leaders Luz Marina and Jani Rita witness protection and urgent evidence
#SOMOSGÉNESIS (#WEAREGENESIS)
May 10, 2020
Today a greeting to all women who have conceived life, who have always given light from love to multiple projects of freedom, peace, and justice among the dark by violence and persecution of which we remain victims, despite the signing of a peace agreement, thanks to all mothers.
Special greetings to our leaders Luz Marina Cuchumbe and Jani Rita Silva victims of the illegal operations of the so-called intelligence of the military forces. To them much strength, wisdom and tranquility in this time when they represent us as a sign of persecution for asserting peace with social and environmental justice. You women count on the help us. You are the manifestation of our courage and our bravery. Thank you.
A tribute to all the women murdered since the signing of the Agreement between the government and the FARC EP, in particular our cheerful Emilsen Mayoma and Doris Valenzuela.We salute their children and all the orphans of our many armed wars and exclusion.
We salute the living or dead mothers of the military, paramilitaries, guerrillas, criminal groups, urban gangs and all former combatants, of entrepreneurs despoilers and destroyers the environment, so that honoring the love of origin we build a fraternal and just country.
We thank the witnesses who a few days ago overcame fear and reported on the illegal operations against our leaders Luz Marins and Jani Rita and human rights defenders the priest Alberto Franco and Danilo Rueda of Colombian Interecclesial Commission for Justice and Peace. The witnesses said that there are many more leaders of our processes who suffered from espionage.as well as those of the Justice and Peace Commission, journalists from Contagio Radio and other human rights and peace organizations. It’s all in databases, that possibly from last Monday to today have been moved or deleted as happened with the records of now extinct DAS.
Today we continue to experience new forms of repression and states of exception with these espionages that continue. All this has come qualifiedly since 2002.
We want to invite you to support the protection of witnesses and evidence, these preventive measures are urgent, while it is possible to transform fundamental issues.
We urgently request:
1) Writing to Senator Leahy of the Democratic Party of States requires President Duque to report in detail on the use of United States resources in intelligence operations from 2002 to today, with names of those responsible for executing them. https://www.leahy.senate.gov/
2) Write on behalf of our victimized processes to the Special Jurisdiction of Peace, JEP, info@jep.gov.co requesting protection for several witnesses and their families, as well as the evidence they have in their possession.
Justice has never clarified or sanctioned the illegal intelligence carried out by the Charry Solano battalion, XX Brigade and other instances as shown in the report presented by the Colombia Europe Coordination, the José Álvear Restrepo Lawyers Collective and the Inter-Church Justice Commission and Paz, on February 7, 2020, to the Special Jurisdiction of Peace, JEP.
3) Write to the Commission for the Clarification of Truth, CEV, info@comisiondelaverdad.co with the due protection, listen to the witnesses and adopt all the measures available to them for their protection and that of the evidence.
We await copies of your letters sent to our email: RedComunidades@protonmail.com.

P.S:
We are in our territories without reply to our letters of March 18
(https://www.justiciaypazcolombia.com/carta-abierta-2-llamado-al-presidente-duque-maximo-comandante-ffmm/) and 9 April (https://www.justiciaypazcolombia.com/2da-carta-abierta- salud-alimentacion-agua-urgente-y-respuesta-a-acuerdo-humanitario-globalcovid19/)
We are at risk of COVID19 for the continuity of military operations, many of them protecting private companies with which they have signed agreements, or tolerant with operations of paramilitary type, business operations without any kind of preventive measure, continuing dispossession and environmental damage.
President Duque remains committed to forced eradication without any preventive measures by COVID19 and fumigation with glyphosate.
Today we continue to call for a halt to the various forms of military and economic warfare. That is why we regret that the ELN, with its reasons, has decided to cease the unilateral cessation.
Yet we still hope that the pandemic and the consequences that are being seen and are coming to our country will allow us all, including businessmen and all regular and irregular armed expressions, think about the possibility of building another country in search of social and environmental justice.
