To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking following the declaration by the paramilitary group Aguilas Negras that the non-governmental organisations Sisma Mujer and Somos Defensores are regarded as military targets, given that those two NGOs are in receipt of funds from the UK.

We are aware of the list of 'military targets' announced by the group that calls itself the Aguilas Negras, or 'Black Eagles'. As well as NGOs, the list also includes prominent politicians, journalists and other human rights defenders. The British Embassy in Bogota has publicly denounced these threats.
