In response to an invitation from Colombian Human Rights lawyers, an international delegation of lawyers will visit Colombia in August 2010 to investigate the precarious situation of human rights defenders.

There will be a large group attending from the UK to monitor progress in the investigation of assassinations and attacks against lawyers. The delegates will self fund their expenses, or find sponsors. More information available: colombian.caravana(at)remove-this.googlemail.com
