 One example of organisations being persecuted illegally through the courts is that of ACVC, a grass-roots peasant farmer organisation focused on human rights issues in rural Colombia.Between 2007 and 2008 all six members of its executive committee were arrested on charges of rebellion.In April and May 2008 charges were dropped against all but two with the reviewing prosecutor stating that the witnesses’ testimony was "based on no more than personal opinion and should have been verified forcefully by the investigative agencies".
