The HRD Memorial aims to document, for the first time ever, all killings of human rights defenders since 1998, the  year the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders was adopted. Carlos Guevara is a Colombian human rights defender with more than a decade of  experience fighting for justice in one of South America’s most dangerous countries for HRDs. In the past week alone, Front Line Defenders has reported at least three human rights defenders were murdered in Colombia and an additional two survived assassination attempts.
