Jorge Eduardo Umaña

Jorge Eduardo Umaña was a prominent Colombian lawyer and human rights advocate known for his staunch opposition to paramilitary violence and advocacy for social justice. He became a target of paramilitary groups due to his efforts to expose human rights violations in Colombia. Tragically, he was murdered in April 1998, a victim of the violent conflict that plagued the country, and his death has been emblematic of the dangers faced by those who speak out against such abuses.
