19 c. In April 2009, the representatives indicated that two months prior, “pamphlets threatening the population began circulating in certain neighborhoods and municipalities close to [Medellin’s Comuna 13]. The pamphlets said, ‘The time for social cleansing has arrived,’ causing fear and tension in the community in general." They found that the distribution of those pamphlets was not an isolated incident but a mechanism used by “supposedly demobilized paramilitary groups and groups of narcotraffickers fighting for control and territorial domination in the city" to terrorize the civilian population. They also indicated that although these are not acts specifically carried out against the beneficiaries, they increase the risks they face. They added that on the days prior, “murders, explosions during the night, and a serious alteration of the public order" took place, caused by confrontations between the aforementioned groups "for territorial control of the city." d. In addition to the shots fired into the air by a police officer assigned to the permanent post at the residence of beneficiary Mery Naranjo (supra Considering 18), they indicated that on April 24, 2010, eight supposed soldiers of the National Army began shooting from the sidewalk in front of the house of that beneficiary "without any motive and in an indiscriminate manner,” almost injuring a daughter and a niece of Ms. Mery Naranjo who were in the house. According to the representatives, the police on duty in the permanent post in front of the residence of the beneficiary "did not alert their superior officers or requested reinforcements," for which reason the beneficiary had to call the police through the National Police’s general system for attending emergencies. Likewise, they indicated that the situation had arisen at other times, generating "a response from the illegal armed groups," leaving the house of beneficiary Mery Naranjo with several bullet holes, "with no concrete results having been obtained to date from the corresponding investigation.” e. On May 21, 2010, beneficiary María del Socorro Mosquera Londoño had been insulted and beaten by members of the Police upon trying to defend certain young people who they were harassing in an arbitrary and illegal fashion. They highlighted that Ms. Mosquera Londoño was able to communicate with the police contact assigned to her "after a long time" and that in spite of this, "she did not receive any kind of assistance from the armed forces and [that] currently, no investigation is being carried out into these serious facts." f. On August 25, 2010, a serious situation against the public order arose that put the beneficiaries Mery Naranjo and María del Socorro Mosquera in particular danger. They indicated that "more than 20 men dressed as civilians carrying firearms, knives, and clubs entered the home [of Ms. Mery Naranjo] in the company of three police officers shouting that they were looking for guns.” Meanwhile, the security and oversight post of the police at her residence "was empty, facilitating the illegal search." They added that the national authorities and the Chief of the Police Station became aware of these facts on that same day. g. In addition, they "briefly recounted" the incidents leading to the grave situation of public order that they have experienced for several months in Medellin’s Comuna 13. They indicated that there is a general situation of human rights violations in the Comuna where the beneficiaries reside due to the permanent establishment of paramilitaries in a large part of the city, to the "failure of the demobilization, disarming, and reinsertion" process, and to the operation of criminal gangs, pandillas, and combos. All this "contributes to the understanding of the context in which the [beneficiaries] live and the impact that it has on their situation of vulnerability and risk" as mediators in the conflict, complainants over the irregularities, and leaders in the defense of human rights in the Comuna. h. Finally, they indicated that on November 3, 2010, during the morning hours in the neighborhood where the beneficiaries reside, a group of police officers from the area "physically and verbally attacked the child Alfonso Villa Mosquera and Marlon Daniel Herrera Mosquera, grandson and son of Ms. Socorro Mosquera.” According to the representatives, the police officers had "covered their own identifications"
