Colombian leader who halted aerial fumigation in Putumayo reports threats

Jhonatan Meneses, a community leader in Puerto Asís, Putumayo, has requested state protection after receiving threats following his successful lawsuit that halted aerial fumigation of coca crops in the region. The threats likely stem from actors with an interest in continuing fumigation or retaliating against the legal action. This development highlights the security risks faced by environmental and social leaders in Colombia, and the tension between anti-narcotics policy and community rights.
