Information about displaced land claimants stolen

Unidentified men have stolen a computer belonging to a national victims organization containing 4,500 names of displaced land claimants, Caracol Radio reported Thursday.

According to the radio station, thieves broke into the office of Corpolibertad, an organization working with victims of Colombia’s conflict, in the northwestern town of Apartado and stole the computer on Wednesday afternoon.

The computer contained information regarding assassinations of  workers from the agricultural union, Sintrainagro, details of 3,800 victims who were nominated to receive funding from the government and a further 700 displaced land claimants.

Apartado is located in the northwestern Uraba region, one of the regions hardest hit by displacement and land-theft in Colombia.
