1. Before writing. Think of a current case of human rights violation that interests you. Write down the most important information about the case: The place, the aggressors, the victims, the right that is denied, the causes of injustice, and its consequences.
Possible answer.
Un caso reciente que podría tomarse como violación de derechos humanos, es el uso de la fuerza excesiva en las protestas en Colombia en los últimos años. Las víctimas en su mayoría son jóvenes estudiantes que exigen mejoras en el sistema educativo y más oportunidades justas para vivir.
Estos abusos son en su mayoría por parte del ESMAD, que es el escuadrón antidisturbios de la policía, y es justificado por las autoridades y el mismo gobierno, lo que ha traído mayor resistencia de la gente en las protestas, y mayor agresividad en las mismas.
Al permitir estos excesos de fuerza durante marchas pacíficas, el gobierno envía un mensaje que podría interpretarse como que si alguien no está de acuerdo con las medidas que quieren imponer y deciden mostrar su descontento, entonces serán agredidos y sus derechos básicos no serán garantizados.
(A recent case that could be taken as a violation of human rights is the use of excessive force in protests in Colombia in recent years. The victims are mostly young students demanding improvements in the educational system and more fair opportunities to live.
These abuses are mostly by ESMAD, which is the police anti-riot squad and is justified by the authorities and the government itself, which has brought greater resistance from the people in the protests, and greater aggressiveness in them.
By allowing these excesses of force during peaceful protests, the government sends a message that could be interpreted as that if someone does not agree with the measures they want to impose and they decide to show their discontent, then they will be attacked and their basic rights will not be guaranteed.)
