2 c) Since the grant of precautionary measures on the part of the InterAmerican Commission in favor of the ICJP, that is, since September 8, 2003, and despite the State allegedly providing cellular and satellite phones, vehicles, transportation support, and protection schemes complete with armored cars to the members of ICJP, the members maintained that “the danger involved persists, having increased over the past two years”; d) The alleged facts giving rise to this request for provisional measures are: 1) alleged “intelligence activities against the ICJP and its members”; 2) alleged “threats and attempts on the right to humane treatment of various members of the organization”; 3) alleged “set-up operations to frame various members of the organization,” and 4) false “accusatory and smear campaigns against them”; e) As to the first point, according to information provided by ICJP, its members have been “the target of activities by the state intelligence services,” which have become apparent through surveillance, e-mail interceptions, immigration records, and activities directed at initiating baseless legal actions against its members. The ICJP indicated to the Commission that in one of the reports issued by the Attorney General “within the framework of investigations into the so-called offensive intelligence activities,” it is clear that the Special Intelligence Group (G-3) of the Administrative Department of Security (hereinafter, the Spanish acronym “DAS” for “Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad”), created “to gather intelligence on different human rights organizations,” had information in its possession about ICJP activities.

Furthermore, ICJP indicated that its members had received numerous threats from the “Black Eagles” paramilitary group in 2009 and that members of the organization that work in “other departments” have received threatening telephone calls or text messages telling them to cease their activities. In December 2009, members of the ICJP who carry out missions in the Jiguamianó and Curvaradó regions allegedly “received threats from unknown persons and from members of the Colombian army.” On the 19th of that month, members of the ICJP received word that paramilitaries from the areas of Urabá and Bajo Atrato had declared them to be “military targets.” ICJP members stationed in the Putumayo region were obliged to withdraw from that area owing to the threats and harassment they received. Likewise, due to such threats, the organization’s teams who work in different
