Trial of Uribe, former president of Colombia (2002-2010)
Uribe was given a platform by the London School of Economics in 2011. I remember the day quite well. I saw not more than 20 people protesting his visit in front of the main building (the Old Building). Some, if not most of them, were not from the School. Some were from Colombia Solidarity Campaign and others from Venezuela Solidarity Campaign. Uribe's complicity with the paramiliatries and Colombian state terror, including the killing of trade unions and journalists, was known and made public long before 2011.
Between 2000 and 2010 Colombia accounted for 63.12% of trade unionists murdered globally, according to the International Union Confederation.
