area informed me that something serious had happened to alexander he said he wanted to see me. when we met he told me alexander had died on september seventeenth at five am. in chief. during a clash with the army. i think it's part of what i once called the traitor ship of the positive within the police forces. by that i mean that the instrument the barometer to measure the effectiveness and the results of the police forces is the number of positive. cases we have registered between january two thousand and seven and june two thousand and eight are five hundred thirty five unlawful executions reported to our organizations and. at first there was a decree known as the cap to creep relating to rewards for operations of national
7:38 pm
importance. in life in other words troop members were given significant sums of money if they shot individuals who were thought to be guerillas . what the country wasn't told is that when the decree was revoked a secret directive was issued but kept the same rewards for every enemy shot no me gusta. it was the soldiers have to achieve results their careers are c'est according to performance if it got nothing to show that they have to be created. by repeating the government's firm will to achieve a country without guerrillas about paramilitaries or drug trafficking or corruption . in the you. know.
7:39 pm
the you. to. me they gave me judges number and the judge who was doing with the case and i contacted him it was already late so i called him the following morning we arranged to meet the next day in the human rights office she was going to meet the representative and invited me to the meeting i said all right i went through and i gave my evidence and asked to see the photos she asked me why i wanted to see them and i said i needed to be sure it was really him so he showed me them. i have to stick to my hand glitters c.n.n. which then can stands in the way or was just the same as the two here. alexander
7:40 pm
was a year older than me when he died he was thirty one he suffered from a mental disease called bipolar affective disorder i had a son a young boy of my stories he showed me his tattoo. and i just found that i wanted the ground to open out the loo and swallow me out. it was so tough. i just put my hands over my mouth and couldn't say anything. he came up to me to take back the photo book. interest in the photos were scanned but i told him no sir i'm strong enough to look at them. those are the bodies you all disappeared from the neighborhood. at about four pm. he was killed the following day eleven hours later at about five am. it was found about one hundred
7:41 pm
sixty kilometers away with. he left me the photos and i kept looking at them yet they put an old rifle beside him. and i noticed he had a white t. shirt and a jacket that given him. alexander was mentally ill he was never in the army he didn't know a thing about weapons and they had placed a machine gun beside a really powerful weapon. next to the other boy they put a less powerful gun even though he was good with weapons. he knew everything about weapons how could he have just an old rifle while alexander who was sick someone who had a few screws lose how could he have a machine gun. that killed them and they put weapons beside them it's easy.
7:42 pm
was it does this through the case exploded precisely one month after the defense minister declared september ninth national human rights day in the us. he also said that unlawful executions were practically over. and the defense minister told us on september the ninth just over a month ago what follows is some continue ignoring reality they try to sell a force who government policy regarding extrajudicial executions as they improperly
7:43 pm
called they use the numbers through digital eyes police forces but when these reports are actually investigated nothing is ever found that. in late september the events in so archer were revealed. these events unearth the truth that can no longer be hidden. cases of young people disappearing and so watchable i'm found murdered in a kind yard in a some town dare region of north and inclement tara were published. it was the last straw. the reports made public the overwhelming and unnatural reality of fossils positive and extrajudicial killings. many people didn't
7:44 pm
believe in. it started to become clear that it wasn't just isolated cases but a model the scandal showing the full atrocity of the fossils positivist case finally exploded. and i had the opportunity of presenting the problem to president to rebel on various occasions in the past both in private and in meetings in washington and in bogota. he never wanted to discuss the issue. he would get angry and nervous whenever it was raised. and he would discredit it as an international smear campaign i thought it was a guerilla has a new strategy. every time a warrior is shot dead it is immediately clear at home and abroad. that was an extrajudicial execution.
7:45 pm
alone didn't get to. be on the scene for a lumpia has the largest number of murders of union members in the world simply because they were doing their job that. is the colombian state or peculiar historical and sociological reasons as slowly turns into a criminal apparatus for the middle east the at the very least the whole institutions of the state have taken on this form. first through torture but then with the desaparecidos of the creation of paramilitary groups that turned into a strategy which has had the form of
7:46 pm
a very strong national structure. without enough and i would we put it this way then the practice of extrajudicial executions and force displacements. was this the forms of social control in such an elitist and all sorts hereon country i've been such a polarized society turns violence into a tool for regular isolation. was. released token on beyond this state. if colombia has generated policies that favor
7:47 pm
a massive systematic violation of human rights. colombia has very serious deficits as far as justice is concerned all right general rule in colombia is impunity. the policies of security democratica which propelled us government are founded on the militarization of society in other words on the growth of the war machinery and the colombian army has grown rapidly it was in the last few years it has doubled in strength because of the armed struggle in the country you know so there is a whole range of controls and internal systems we believe ought to be reformed and improved it is also characterized by the creation of a secret police which persecutes opponents so west turn the paramilitary groups into a structure so even if they have been apparently disbanded they will continue to operate very intensely controlling a good part of the national territory. if they call me and i reply i am
7:48 pm
a colombian in the security democratic a is a good thing a problem is that there are bad elements in the army in the police and in other bodies they aren't applying the law as they should what's wrong with a security guard democratica is the rewards given to servicemen when they turn up with a positive. rewards policy is necessary to fight crime. but we really should revise our policy that we if we don't it is either interpreted wrongly or fulfilled in a criminal manner and here is in reno the more people that are shot the more convenient it is for a military unit or individual soldier because it allows them to get home leave to go and see their mothers and girlfriends it also allows them to advance in their careers to win the respect of other service men. it helps gain decorations and it
7:49 pm
often wins them rewards in cash which also end up in the hands of civilians recruiters and these young men and or some service member. to be. with. you.
7:50 pm
in. for this it was there i first took part because of a neighbor of mine. his name was son one son giago. my job was to go around bars with him to help sell cocaine. on january third or fourth two thousand and seven asked me for the first time to help him take a bunch of young guys someplace. when we got there we got a call from the army that was i didn't know it was for the army i only found out there and then but those kids were for the army that. would look is it when you just know you you know it's a lot of rumors going around the neighborhood about these guys say they get the money straight out of the hands of the army people they deliver the kids to.
7:51 pm
the army buys them like merchandise for five year would give me four hundred six hundred or seven hundred per person leave me a mine just over there. a friend came looking for him at about five thirty pm and then fluently i asked him you know you're looking for cancer took a blond kid out of the small window on the second floor and came out with a standard somewhere in the park talk for a while and then left and that was the last time anyone saw him. look it is what they were saying in the bars was that they would give you two million pesos for every kid's. you just have to convince them by promising a job and simply take them out of town and hand them over to the army then you know they say he'd been offered to pay eight hundred thousand passes plus board and lodging. we went there to pick up two kids is adopted it was about seven or eight
7:52 pm
pm and there was an army lorry waiting for us. as this we got out of the taxi with the kids would be a went over to speak with the army guys while the two kids waited. on the sick and then just the two of us got back into the taxi and headed back to. be with and as we know they ended up lying in a field somewhere armed and dead. and it was good for business too because of the shot dead an enemy. soldiers would get home leave and then we could sell i'm cold. there's been so we'd get two jails for the price of one. and you know. i. know this that's what these people were saying in the bars. because they are people without ordinary feelings. they just go around bars telling people how they sold
7:53 pm
them and how much they made them both or all of them want what they have got no problem telling you what happens to these kids they're lonely mcgraw's even the procedure was always the same we take into account here and when the order came from the battalion to deliver them we hand them over to the army. after seeing the photos i got in touch with an actor and they told me i had to go to iraq to stop custody prestigious to get custody of the body parts they gave us new some to leave very we went to recover the bodies. once they gave us notice of
7:54 pm
delivery we went to recover the bodies. which. we left at half past three in the morning. to go to the human rights office. in. he was going to go to barber koa at about nine am.
7:55 pm
as a bear they gave us the medical examination papers for my brother alexander graham . bell it sounded a minute and for norbi arrow the other young man who died with him. and the medical examination office they gave us the death certificate and the woman who was the medical examiner there were cold war. so they gave us the bodies we thought that if we should arrive in time who could have buried them and look at the same day. if they'd injured him because what i got is that they hit him with one or two bullets. and on the death certificate it says death do you just several gunshots. in.
7:56 pm
my saddest part of the story was when nobody arrows mom asked me the meaning of death by acute hemorrhaging i mean. because she didn't understand them and. i felt the clearest thing to say was that they bled to death. execute him a ranch a chameleon we asked what it was and they said they'd let to death both of them actors brother and son of a row. under guard so close to the hospital and the silly little boy it wouldn't. being logical for the army people themselves even if they were real criminals to take them to the hospital to try and rescue them but instead they left them to die like dogs in the middle of a field. why did they leave them to bleed to death because it was more worthwhile that it was worthwhile to let them die so they could show them off as on some suppose the cubans.
