A paramilitary group has sent death threats to a prominent human rights organisation which works on issues relating to communities forcibly displaced by the armed conflict. This is thought to be one of the army-backed groups that have supposedly demobilised, but are continuing to operate under new names. Amnesty International believes the organisation's members are in danger.
