Extremists threaten to kill Colombia's constitutional judges
Abortion ruling triggers 'Aguilas Negras' death threat
by Adriaan Alsema March 8, 2022
Far-right group “Aguilas Negras” reportedly sent a death threat to judges of Colombia’s Constitutional Court for legalizing abortion.
According to newspaper El Espectador, the death threat that was sent to the court’s main offices in Bogota was directed at the judges who lifted a ban on abortion last month.
Four of the court’s magistrates and one assistant judge voted in favor of legalizing abortion up to the 24th week of pregnancy.
The Aguilas Negras reportedly wrote that “they will understand the bullets” if the court doesn’t revoke the ruling “the nice way.”
