In Medell�n, they defend four human rights groups. They regularly visit their offices and accompany the members and leaders who have received threats. Martha Soto of ASFADDES, the Association for the Relatives of the Detained-Disappeared, for instance, has received almost permanent accompaniment for the past three years. �I have received numerous threats,� she says, and �I even had to move away from Medell�n for a while. If it weren�t for Peace Brigades, I would have had to stop my work and I wouldn�t have been able to come back to Medell�n.�
