In March 2025, human rights defender Rocío Torres Bobadilla, a Colombian environmental and human rights lawyer, faced threats and intimidation. The labour union Sintracarbón, which she advises, filed a request with the Labour Ministry calling for the suspension of the collective dismissal of approximately 300 employees at Prodeco and Carbones de La Jagua (CDJ), subsidiaries of Glencore.
