A/HRC/48/28 28. According to information received by OHCHR, during the reporting period Mr. Anteliz continues to be subject to reprisals for his cooperation with the UN, including ongoing physical surveillance. On 19 November 2020, a security guard of Mr. Anteliz’s protection team was transferred after he refused to send live updates of Mr. Anteliz’s whereabouts to his superiors. Mr. Anteliz was reportedly informed about changes to protection measures, but he was not given enough notice to challenge the decision on time. On 19 April 2021, his appeal to address inadequate protection measures was denied. 29. On 25 August 2020 two unidentified armed individuals killed the official replacing Mr. Anteliz as Commander of Police of Bachilleres of Cúcuta, an attack suspected to have been directed at Mr. Anteliz. On 15 February 2021, there was an unlawful entry and robbery in the legal residence of Mr. Anteliz resulting in the theft of a laptop, a mobile phone and USB keys. In February 2021, Mr. Anteliz was transferred, reportedly without justification, to a rural area in the department of Norte de Santander, a non-family duty station. 30. The case of Mr. Germán Graciano Posso, a member and legal representative of the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó, was included in the 2020, 2019 and 2018 reports of the Secretary-General 137 on allegations of criminalization, death threats and an assassination attempt following his participation in the November 2017 Forum on Business and Human Rights (COL 1/2018). He had been accused by the 17th Brigade of the Colombian Army in a legal action (“desacato de tutela”) against the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó, of which he is the legal guardian, for publicly denouncing alleged criminal behaviour by the armed forces, including at the UN. 31. On 21 August 2020, the Constitutional Court ruled in favour of the 17th Brigade of the Colombian Army, and against the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó, on the basis that the Community had harmed the honour and good name of the military detachment located in Antioquia. The Court based its decision on public statements made by the Community between February and August 2018, following Mr. Graciano Posso’s cooperation with the UN, his subsequent assassination attempt, and a reported increase in violence in the region. The Court deemed that the statements contained information that had a negative impact on the reputation and the public perception of this military unit. However, the Court denied the Brigade’s request that the Community retract its statements, acknowledging that the Community’s suspicion of links between the Colombian Army and illegal groups was not unfounded. 32. On 24 August 2021, the Government responded to the note verbale sent in connection to the present report. Regarding the case of Mr. Antéliz Gonzalez, the Government provided information about protection measures requested by the National Police as well as about a criminal investigation initiated in connection to recent reported incidents.
