24 August
CPTers Jenny Dillon, Gerald Paoli, William Payne and John Volkening
accompanied a Moonlight Festival for Life (Lunada por la Vida)
presented by the youth organization, Legion of Affection, in the
Castillo neighborhood. Members of the Legion had requested CPT's
accompaniment because they were worried about safety. They had
recently received death threats from a paramilitary group, but had
committed themselves to continuing their work with youth and setting up
festivals in each of Barrancabermeja's economically poorest
communities. CPTers Dillon, Paoli, Michele Braley and Nils Dybvig
accompanied another Moonlight Festival put on by the Legion on 27
August.
