About this statute

Esta ley indica que modifica la Ley 599 de 2000 sobre conductas punibles contra bienes jurídicamente protegidos de defensores de derechos humanos y periodistas. This article changes the prescription period for several listed crimes to 30 years. This article changes numeral 10 of article 104 of Law 599 of 2000 so it applies when the act is committed against certain protected persons. This provision changes a criminal rule so it covers conduct committed against journalists, community leaders, human rights defenders, and members of certain legally recognized organizations, or because of that status. If a threat or intimidation targets certain protected persons, the penalty is increased by one third.
