Afro-Colombians fear for the lives of two leaders of the Black Communities Process, or PCN, the main organization defending the collective land rights of Afro-descended peoples. Sara Quiñonez and her mother, Tulia Maris Valencia, were detained on false charges of collaborating with the ELN guerilla group – an allegation that could mark them for assassination. But the PCN is “an organization that promotes peace, and peaceful struggle, said spokesperson Charo Mina-Rojas, who called on progressives everywhere to demand the two women’s release.
