jaime pardo leal -lrb- march 28 , 1941 october 11 , 1987 -rrb- was the candidate of the patriotic union for the presidency of colombia in the 1986 elections .
members of the patriotic union became the target of multiple death threats and assassination attempts .
pardo leal himself , after running for president in 1986 , was assassinated by a 14-year-old on october 11 , 1987 , who was later killed as well .
drug lord josé gonzalo rodríguez gacha , also known as `` the mexican '' , was apparently involved in the murder as a sponsor .
the colombian communist party newspaper `` voz '' published a report in which it linked members of the colombian military to rodríguez gacha .
by 1988 , the up announced that more than 500 of its members , including pardo leal and four congressmen , had been assassinated to date .
unidentified gunmen later attacked more than 100 of the up 's local candidates in the six months preceding the march 1988 elections .
an april 1988 report by amnesty international charged that members of the colombian military and government would be involved in what was called a `` deliberate policy of political murder '' of up militants and others .
the terms of that accusation were rejected and deemed to be an inaccurate exaggeration by the administration of virgilio barco vargas .
by 2003-2004 , the official legal representatives of a partial number of up victims presented a concrete death toll of about 1,163 to the inter-american commission on human rights -lrb- iachr -rrb- , of which 450 -lrb- 38 % -rrb- were attributed directly to paramilitary groups .
the breakdown of the remainder was not publicly specified .
