73 255. Based on the findings of fact, Ms. Ana Teresa Yarce served as an Attorney and Treasurer of the Community Action Board in Comuna 13.336 Part of her community advocacy work involved reporting crimes committed by the paramilitary forces to the Army, in order to protect the young men of Comuna 13 from murders; prevent forcible displacement; and protect families from the gradual destruction of their homes.337 256. Their work jeopardized both the life of Ana Teresa Yarce, as well as her personal integrity, as she became the target of threats and accusations from the paramilitary groups, at times, in front of her own children.338 Consequently, on November 12, 2002 Ms. Yarce was detained along with Mery Naranjo and Maria del Socorro Mosquera for the alleged crime of rebellion; and this detention took place after participating in a meeting with the Secretariat of the Interior, where she reported murders perpetrated by paramilitary members in areas controlled by the army.339 The proven facts show that this detention elevated her level of insecurity in Comuna 13.340 257. Evidence in the case file before the IACHR indicates that the authorities were aware of the situation of risk and the threats endured by Ana Teresa Yarce, which led to her murder. Based on the proven facts, on February 7, 2003, Ms. Caterina Bettina Abatti alerted the Inspector General of the Nation, via written communication, about the troubling security situation of Ms. Ana Teresa Yarce, Mery Naranjo and Maria del Socorro Mosquera, as a result of their work as community leaders.341 With all due respect I request that you initiate impartial and exhaustive investigations towards the detention of María del Socorro Mosquera, Mery del Socorro Naranjo, and Ana Teresa Yarce, to publish the results of said investigations, and to bring to justice those responsible. I also request that you adopt the necessary measures, considered appropriate by those threatened, to 336 Annex 31.
