Daysi Zapata (Aidesep VP) testimony before the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission of the U.S. House of Representatives, during hearing on Indigenous Peoples Rights in Latin America.
Deep in the Colombian Amazon, the Indigenous community of Lower Remanso is fighting for truth, justice, and reparations. Two years ago, their leader was one of several civilians killed by the Colombian army.
"I will not feel defeated. Defeated are those who are sitting on their hands. We will continue to fight for the demarcation of Indigenous lands. Because those who have territory have a place to go back to, and those who have a place to go back to, have a mother, a lap, and a cure."
