Honduras and La Negra farms massacre

The Honduras and La Negra farms massacre, also known as the Urabá massacre, was the 4 March 1988 mass killing of farmworkers at the Honduras and La Negra farms in Turbo, Urabá, Antioquia, Colombia.

[1][2] 20[3]-30[4] armed men in civilian clothing attacked the Honduras farm in Currulao, Antioquia and killed 17 of its unionized peasant banana workers.

[5][6] The same men then traveled to the nearby La Negra farm and killed three of its workers.

[3][7] The perpetrators were concluded to be assassins financed by the Association of Farmers and Stockbreeders of Magdalena Medio (ACDEGAM) in coordination with the Colombian Army's Voltíjeros battalion, who were aided by former Popular Liberation Army (EPL) guerrillas.

[4] A memorial dedicated to the victims of the massacre, as well as 26 other murdered banana workers, stands in La Piña, Turbo, Antioquia.
