The Victims Collective expressed its message of resilience in the Oil Port, after 21 years of the violent events that claimed the lives of eight people.

The Victims Unit accompanied and provided psychosocial and logistical support in the commemoration that took place in Parque a la Vida in Barrancabermeja, in memory of the massacre of February 28, 1999.

The Victims' Collective of February 28 commemorated the 21 years of the massacre (8 people killed, 2 wounded and two missing), calling for solidarity, justice and compensation for their rights.

In the event, a discussion was held with the purpose of bringing a reflection to the entire population, by state organizations and entities, in the face of the events that gave rise to the paramilitary incursion in Barrancabermeja.

In Parque a la Vida there was a space of awareness, dignity and recognition, through the planting of trees, and other activities with which the relatives demonstrated that, nevertheless, the pain, and the anguish, and the truncated dreams, they are capable of transforming and being reborn.

The Victims Unit provided an intimate space for emotional recovery for family members to express their emotions and have psychosocial support.

A mural prepared by the relatives of the victims was also inaugurated in Provivienda neighborhood, one of the neighborhoods where the massacre began and the "route of death" as the victims mention it.
