Help Village Earth’s Colombian ally Jenzera seek justice for the disappearance of Kimy Pernía Domicó!
It was on this day ten years ago that the great Embera Katío Indigenous leader Kimy Pernía Domicó was abducted by army-backed paramilitaries in northern Colombia shortly after his second visit to Canada. He was never seen again. In the past decade, threats and attacks on indigenous communities and their leaders have intensified. The situation is nothing less than a human rights emergency as more than 32 Indigenous Peoples, including the Embera, are now at risk of extinction due to factors that include the imposition of “development” projects on their land.
