Spanish term or phrase: amenazas físicas y de su integridad
Estoy traduciendo una declaración en que una persona cuenta que le robaron su finca y que desalojaron a las personas que la estaban cuidando.

"Dejé a una familia de la zona a cargo de la finca. En estos últimos días, un grupo perteneciente a la guerrilla obligó a desalojar a la familia de mi propiedad de noche amenazándolos a todos con **amenazas físicas y de su integridad**."

Threatening them with physical harm and death?

No sé si estoy tergiversando el mensaje. En todo caso, el original está mal redactado.

Muchas gracias por su ayuda

threats to their physical/bodily integrity


Explanation:
I think the phrase is redundant. A physical threat is a threat to one's physical/personal/bodily integrity.

Now, if the text had added "life," then there would be two different ideas:

TR definition for PTSD be expanded to include serial and ...onlinelibrary.wiley.com › doi › pdf
**a major threat to life or physical integrity**, and does not include a series of non-life- threatening traumatic events as a causative factor. • A review of the literature ..

... **threatened death or serious injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of self** or others

Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › Bodily_integrity
**Bodily integrity is the inviolability of the physical body**

There are lots of examples of 'threats to [one's] physical integrity':

From Linguee:

I am worried by the appearance of this profitable but repulsive phenomenon, which threatens the physical integrity of individuals.

threatening their physical and mental integrity


Explanation:
I’d probably use “physical and mental integrity”, which is the wording used in the majority of human rights conventions.

threats of violence and of harm to life and limb


Explanation:
integridad física: life & limb, West. Integrity often means intactness in this context.

Pace Phil G., assault in ENG tort & criminal law is, strictly, the threat or fear instilled - a menacing figure or his dangerious dog at the window - of violence whilst battery is the actual application of force. ABH - low-level actual bodily harm like a single, non-lethal punchvs. GBH: grievous bodily harm.

Translators & interpreters of integrity may care to comment.

Example sentence(s):
  • In an act of physical violence, assault refers to the act which causes the victim to apprehend imminent physical harm, while battery refers to the actual act causing the physical harm.
  • crimes committed or likely to be committed in the course of terrorist activities against life, limb, personal freedom or property europa.eu [...] en el curso de actividades terroristas contra la vida, la integridad física, la libertad de las personas .
