March 30, at approximately 6 and 30 pm, Mr. Hector Orozco, of the village of San Fernando, vice president of the board of the Association of Rural Workers of Tolima of the La Marina , with Mr. Gildardo Garcia , when on a motorcycle on the way from the sidewalk Spirit Santo and Tindal, were intercepted by masked men who killed them with guns. Mr. Orozco, days before, at the offices of the Corporation regional Restart Tolima, had reported harassment against him and against several farmers in the region, by Army Lt. John Jairo Velez. Up to nine in the morning of March 31 today, had not been lifting the bodies of the peasant leaders. When asked the Chaparral Personera the removal of the bodies, said that he had referred to the Mayor of the Marina. However, the Restart Corporation, insists that the prosecution with Attorney conduct oversight of the removal of the bodies, since apparently there are no guarantees in the area.
