\Petition says Colombia citizen Alejandro Carranza Medina was illegally killed in US airstrike on 15 September
A family in Colombia filed a petition on Tuesday with the Washington DC-based Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging that the Colombian citizen Alejandro Carranza Medina was illegally killed in a US airstrike on 15 September.
The petition marks the first formal complaint over the airstrikes by the Trump administration against suspected drug boats, attacks that the White House says are justified under a novel interpretation of law.
The IACHR, part of the Organization of American States, is designed to “promote and protect human rights in the Western Hemisphere”. The US is a member, and in March the Trump administration’s state department wrote: “The United States is pleased to be a strong supporter of the IACHR and is committed to continuing support for the Commission’s work and its independence. Preserving the IACHR’s autonomy is a pillar of our human rights policy in the region.”
I hate this administration, and I hate this timeline.
They were terrorists since i am alive. It’s not the administration. But electing a fascist didn’t help
Agreed. I’m 42 years old and it’s been a slow burn to get this situation. And it feels like the slow burn is now just about to explode into a Krakatoa inferno.
Never been a slow burn, just a continuous one. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan…

Yup. Cheney was allowed to die peacefully. This is nothing new; it’s just easier for more people to see it now.
