César Uribe Rúa, President of SUTIMAC, was murdered. The CUT and FENALTRACONCEM denounced those murders and disappearances to the Mayor, the Governor, military and police authorities, and national authorities. In those letters to national authorities, they reported that "the members of a paramilitary group comprising about 30 individuals and calling itself "Autodefensa Popular" was continuing to sow terror and confusion..." Thus, the CUT and FENALTRACONCEM asked for an end to the criminal policy against workers and for an investigation to be carried out. They also requested the withdrawal of the Army patrols billeted in Puerto Nare and “Montañitas”, in the department of Antioquia. 93. Likewise, a report of the National Center for Historical Memory refers to the persecution and extermination of members of SUTIMAC's Puerto Nare branch. The report states: (…) in the Antioquia region of Magdalena Medio, in 1986 and 1987, the vast majority of SUTIMAC members were murdered or disappeared by paramilitary groups operating with military units billeted in the region. Indeed, SUTIMAC was practically banished from the municipality of Puerto Nare, due to the murder, forced disappearance, and internal displacement of most of its trade union leaders and activists.65 94. The aforementioned report cites numerous murders of members of SUTIMAC and Sintracolcarburos between 1986 and 1989,66 most of them attributed to paramilitary groups and, specifically, the group known as MAS. It points out that several of these people also had ties to the UP.67 As a matter of particular relevance to the instant case, the Commission notes that, according to that report, several of those deaths and disappearances took place in circumstances that suggest joint actions and collaboration between the paramilitary groups and the State security forces, that is, when persons were formally held in installations run by the State's security forces or close by.68 95.
