US EditionFamily of Colombian man killed in US strike in the Caribbean files human rights challenge
The complaint accuses U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of ordering an extrajudicial killing amid a campaign that has killed at least 83 people since early September.
- The family of Alejandro Carranza Medina filed a complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, claiming he was unlawfully killed in a U.S. military airstrike on September 15, 2025, ordered by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
- The petition alleges that Hegseth admitted to giving orders for bombings without knowing the identities of the targets.
- Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated that Carranza was a fisherman with no ties to drug trafficking, contradicting U.S. claims that the airstrike targeted narcotraffickers.
- Legal experts argue that the airstrike violates international human rights laws, while the Inter-American Commission has urged the U.S. to ensure respect for human rights during military operations.
