image for Colombian family files first known formal complaint over deadly US strike in Caribbean

The family of a Colombian man believed to have been killed in a US strike in the Caribbean has filed what’s believed to be the first complaint against such attacks with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).

It claims that the United States carried out an extra-judicial killing in violation of Carranza’s human rights.

Kovalik told CNN they are seeking compensation for his family and an end to such killings, but did not elaborate on how those demands would be met.

We want this to stop, and we think this is at least a first step to having that happen,” he said.

Trump claimed the strike on September 15 had killed three “narcoterrorists from Venezuela” transporting drugs to the United States.

But Kovalik says Carranza, a Colombian citizen, was simply fishing for marlin and tuna when he was killed in the strike.

CNN has reached out to the IACHR, Carranza’s family and the Colombian government for more information. »

In our reviews of these GPUs, we’ve already run into some games where the RAM ceiling limits performance in Windows, especially at 1440p.

But for our purposes here, the two GPUs that highlight the issues most effectively are the 8GB Radeon RX 7600 and the 16GB Radeon RX 7600 XT. »
