Colombia Ombudsman demands senators retract attacks on JEP magistrate

Colombia's Ombudsman (Defensoría) formally requested senators Germán Rodríguez and María Clara Posada to correct unsupported statements against Julieta Lemaitre, a magistrate of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP). The move signals institutional pushback against political criticism of the transitional justice body, though the specific content of the senators' attacks is not detailed. This reflects ongoing friction between Colombia's political class and the JEP over its handling of former FARC members and military officials.
