In May 2022 human rights defender Pedro Velasco Tumiño recieved death threats in Colombia. He was actively resisting the operations of the paper company Smurfit Kappa – Cartón de Colombia S.A. His community has been under threat since 2021, when Indigenous, campesino, and Afro-descendant communities began reclaiming their lands from Smurfit Kappa. Members of the Nasa and Misak Indigenous communities, activists, and NGOs attend Smurfit Kappa’s annual general meeting at the Herbert Park Hotel in Ireland asking the company to give land back to the Misak and Nasa indigenous communities and to small-scale farmers, otherwise known as “campesinos”. They appeal to governments and the international community to provide human rights protection in Corporate Sustainability. Two days after Velasco Tumiño’s return to Colombia from Dublin, he receives a death threat from an anonymous caller.
