Personal lifeBedoya grew up in the region of Chocó, Colombia. He lived on his family farm for 11 years, growing rice, corn, and bananas. In 1996, Colombian paramilitary forces evicted his family from the farm. He returned to his land in 2008, where he was evicted again. He was almost evicted a third time in 2012, as his house was demolished twice, but the presence of the team from NGO Justice and Peace prevented their removal.[1] ActivismAfter nearly being evicted from his property three times, Bedoya converted his own land into the “Mi Tierra Biodiversity Zone”, in an effort to protect the farmland that belonged to the Afro-Colombian community in Chocó from encroaching agro-industry corporations. “Mi Tierra” was also founded for maintaining the rich biodiversity in the region.[1] His calls for change were not limited to land rights, however; Bedoya was a member of Communities Building Peace in the Territories (CONPAZ) and worked to follow the 2016 peace agreement between FARC and the Colombian government. His anti-agribusiness activism resulted in numerous death threats from paramilitary groups with ties to the industry for over two years up until his assassination.[2] DeathOn December 8, 2017, Hernán Bedoya was shot 14 times [3] by the Gaitanista Self Defense Force in Chocó between the point known as El Acopio and the hamlet of Playa Roja. His death came after 2 years of threats against him and numerous other protestors from members of the paramilitary force identified by aliases “Coyote”, “Yeison”, and “Lute.”.[4] Despite being under the official protection of the National Protection unit, Bedoya was given only a cell phone and a bulletproof vest to defend himself. His death devastated the population of the region, which had been celebrating 20 years of resistance to land encroachment from palm oil companies.[1] On August 18, 2018 Bedoya’s tombstone was found to have been burned, presumably in retaliation for the continued activism of his family.[5] LegacyBedoya is survived by his wife and children, all of whom are committed to continuing his work.[5] His 18-year-old son, Ramón Bedoya, plans to become a rights activist and continue to protest the deforestation and corporate seizure of the region.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web |last=Volckhausen |first=Taran |title=Colombian community leader allegedly murdered for standing up to palm oil |url=https://news.mongabay.com/2017/12/colombian-community-leader-allegedly-murdered-for-standing-up-to-palm-oil/}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Bedoya, Hernán}}2. ^1 {{cite web |last=Watts |first=Jonathan |title='This is a last hold-out': son of a murdered farmer in Colombia |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/jul/21/colombia-land-grab-son-murdered-farmer-defy-paramilitaries |website=theguardian.com}} 3. ^{{cite AV media |date=December 15, 2017 |title=Video in memory of Hernán Bedoya, Colombian community leader |medium=Motion picture |language=Spanish |url=https://www.fronterainvisible.com/ |access-date=September 8, 2018 |location=Colombia |publisher= Transport & Environment}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.justiciaypazcolombia.com/asesinado-lider-hernan-bedoya/ |title=Asesinado líder Hernán Bedoya |date=December 8, 2017 |website=Comisión Intereclesial de Justicia y Paz |access-date=September 8, 2018}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |title=Con la quema de lápida de Hernán Bedoya intimidan a su familia |url=https://www.justiciaypazcolombia.com/con-la-quema-de-lapida-de-hernan-bedoya-intimidan-a-su-familia/ |website=usticiaypazcolombia.com}} 4 : 2017 deaths|People from Chocó Department|Colombian activists|People murdered in Colombia |
