Emails with the subject line reading 'military objective' were sent to 182 victims of the armed conflict and human rights defenders in Colombia, and contained a death threat and a deadline to leave the country in 15 days. The threat takes place when the important issue of the victims of the conflict is being addressed in the negotiating table in Havana, Cuba. Among those who were threatened is a relative of one of the victims of the conflict who went to Cuba to have a meeting with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. teleSUR
