Colombian President orders to suspend intelligence sharing with US
(MENAFN) Colombian President Gustavo Petro has ordered the country’s security forces to halt all intelligence cooperation with U.S. agencies following recent American military strikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean.
Petro announced the decision Tuesday on social media, stating that the suspension will remain in place “as long as missile attacks on boats in the Caribbean continue.” He emphasized that “the fight against drugs must be subordinated to the human rights of the Caribbean people.”
The announcement followed a report indicating that the United Kingdom had already suspended its intelligence sharing with Washington over similar concerns. British officials reportedly believe that the U.S. strikes, which have killed at least 76 people since September, violate international law by targeting vessels without due process.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk denounced the attacks as “unacceptable,” calling for an independent investigation into what his office described as “extrajudicial killings.”
