NGOs allege palm company Poligrow has contributed to forced displacement & land grabbing. Opponent William Aljure has reported receiving death threats. He was allegedly threatened by paramilitary leaders and followed by two unidentified men in Villavicencio, Colombia in the region of Meta. According to Comisión Intereclesial de Justicia y Paz, local paramilitary leader Edgar Pérez described Mr. Aljure as a "threat to the business" of oil palm in Colombia and called for his assassination. Mr. Aljure recently completed an advocacy trip to Washington, D.C. to speak out about the forced displacement and threats from paramilitary groups with links to oil palm company, Poligrow Colombia Ltd.
