Case Summary: Ms. CP is a former police officer who worked in Choco, Colombia. Between mid-2021 and late 2022, Ms. CP and her family received threats from the criminal organization Clan del Golfo. In August 2022, she attempted to relocate to Medellin to escape the threats, and in December 2022, she filed a report with the Attorney General’s Office. Despite this, the threats continued. They told her that she was under surveillance and that no matter how many complaints she made, they were going to end her life. In January 2024, she was kidnapped by Clan del Golfo members, taken to a field, and sexually assaulted multiple times. Days later, Ms. CP fled to the U.S. seeking safety.
