139. Within the framework of Operación Transmilenio, the CTI detected other operations, including those code-named “Arauca,” “Imprenta,” “Intercambio,” “Europa,” “Internet,” and “Encuentro.”234 The objective of the first of those operations was “to establish links between CCAJAR and the ELN; sabotage and action strategies; exchange of messages with ELN leaders that will be found in searches.”235 140. In particular, the following operations were carried out in the framework of Operación Transmilenio: (i) Construction of an organizational chart with the names of 30 members of CCAJAR, along with their respective photographs, the position of each person, fingerprint records, and curricula vitae;236 (ii) constant surveillance as an effective method for gathering information in relation to their homes, the composition of their families, routines, and other predetermined objectives regarding the Collective’s members;237 (iii) photographing, filming, and constant surveillance of members of the collective and their relatives;238 and (iv) intercept of communications of CCAJAR members on their work telephones, personal land lines and mobile telephones, and private e-mail accounts,239 mainly with the aim of gathering information about matters relating to the Collective’s work, as well as generating pressure and instilling fear in its members.240 141. That monitoring of the work of CCAJAR members also involved a specific study of cases being litigated by the Collective's lawyers and the identification of flaws in the State's defense strategy in cases previously decided by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.241 In the statement he provided in a preliminary inquiry, the Deputy Director of the DAS, José Miguel Narváez, said the following: [I]t was necessary to do an evaluation of the Colombian State's needs in response to international complaints filed by a number of organizations with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights .... My mission was to try to propose alternative forms of defense against the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.242 142. As part of the intelligence operations, there was also detailed tracking of the domestic and international travel of the members of the organization, including a record of their departures from and arrivals in the country, as well as their exact destinations.243 The DAS succeeded in obtaining access to travel itineraries, as well as work and meeting agendas.244 143. The Commission also notes that in multiple meetings held by DAS officials reference was made to intelligence operations that had been conducted against CCAJAR members as well as future steps that should be taken to neutralize their work.245 In the minutes of the August 30, 2005 meeting of the Special Intelligence Coordination Group, a series of tasks and instructions were mentioned in relation to “targets,” including “launching an offensive against CCAJAR by publishing a newspaper advertisement,” as well as undertaking 234 Office of the Attorney General, CTI Report No. 498742 of November 10, 2009.
