The European Parliament criticised human rights abuses in Colombia on October 24 and asked that an unpublished Government Human Rights Commission report on the activities of British Petroleum, which MEPs accused during a debate of complicity in human rights abuses and environmental damage in the Casanare region, be made public.
British Socialist MEP Richard Howitt, a member of the Parliament's South American delegation, accused BP during the debate earlier that day of collaborating with the military in the region, saying these allegations are backed by the Human Rights Commission report. "The report makes accusations of the passing of secret video evidence to the military leading to the death and disappearances of anti-oil protesters, and suggests that military denunciations against the protesters lead to assassinations", he said.
