keeping the threat from the playground. but i'll be back with more news stories a little later now the fall of the journey of two colombians as they try to find the truth one hundred deaths of their relatives in a mysterious military operation. we cannot allow efficiency in the struggle against criminals to be confused with cowardice in facing them. and i don't want to be a body we also cannot allow this distortion of affect on lists of tainted by killing innocent victims will be. right back the day we decided to present our documents as. we had meticulously prepared it for several months. because there were various important circumstances in the field of human rights including the visit of the un high commissioner for human rights as he says by. his physical. senses it's. by

the way in some of our earlier the government finally made up its mind to take decisions it should have taken years ago. if you did it in a setting that the ministry of national defense. but he has decided to withdraw from active service. and summoned to court with the use of discretionary power. the following members of the army as he individuality had. a bad day off or serves on servicemen were deprived of office. as well as known commissioned officers. including generals. it was them they were located in those very areas. belong to those brigades which we had reported as having the highest number of crimes against human beings. my daughter handed out major general the people had numbers roberto the commander of the seventh division. brigadier general cortez

franco who was a white quinn. commander of the second division he'll. be during the media show on october twenty ninth but you're going to have to be a. big target of us as i am treated us as a response schoolma'am. who just tolerated those deaths or did i do so much. from what we gather this is an administrative decision. despite the criminal investigation we are pursuing with the prosecutor's office here. it's led to the opening of several court cases here i'm sure arrest warrants against members of the army. it's a political decision why the suv public opinion luckily it stopped the bab's. because if they had carried on they would have had to throw out all division commanders i'm quite a few brigade commanders. by getting rid of three generals the public is satisfied
1:34 am
and they can show the government is actually doing something to fight the false those positive us phenomenon which we have counted over twelve hundred falseness positive those victims informally reported a such or were formally recognized as victims during our investigations. the question is can it be that as has been documented such events that took place are isolated cases or isn't this a logical contradiction. but i ask the same question. it happened in all divisions it happened everywhere. i read a cynic report. it says that the region with the most pulse was positive most cases in two thousand and eight. by antioch here. he. is fifth or sixth. but it was the commander of the second division who paid
1:35 am
for all the positive case all this cannot be done by just small groups on their own initiative. it's an issue that as can be seen requires very sophisticated planning at each level. and why is it not a scandal. this is. crazy. because it's almost in comprehensible. imagine a patrol on the battle ground and they meet some peasant or guide in the area. says back over there this is in your piece. he's the one who planted mind. tells you that he planted the mines that killed one of your men. is a farce civilian brings food to the guerrillas a commander who's leading
1:36 am
a platoon. and who saw a brother in arms died the previous day on a mine plan to buy back a p.c. i think of arresting a person and also then simulate a fight with the person leading to his death this is my father's house it's way he lived and grew you could learn and pineapple he also had some cows and pigs he was here all the time he was a phone and the computer was going to him one morning and i got a cold telling me to come here because there were armed men in the house and nobody knew why that happened. if you are on a bus and you let it was an anomaly it was a very alarming and it's present situation because we didn't know anything about that where he was what they've done to him this serviceman wouldn't talk they wouldn't answer any questions they said he had a gun this lady slept here so you have to take her away she's
1:37 am
a guerrilla fighter my dad is a guerilla man i am to. nothing look nothing not even a drop of blood. not even a drop of blood the two came outside and killed him. it's unbelievable. this is it was only come on tape everything please and where the badness was they talking about where the weapons. was. going for our eyes off. the ball of course how is this possible. they have no right. to you know they had to wait in line for these to simulate to lie to say she was a guerrilla man but to come out to attack them to say she died fighting as you now are hanging on battling the conditions we found my did smadi were dreadful that i
1:38 am
am in a really painful awful humiliating the greatest accumulation a human being could receive from anyone. to find your body in a state thrown on the ground naked mistreated. our. shouldn't they be the ones who take care of us working is going to care for the good and the owner of colombians. on the annals he has i don't know we're talking about a crime committed only to show the world in the u. airs that their defeat in the green well they're actually cumin innocent farmers and workers who are doing good to the country. because that was in the early probably because they're incapable of finding the real warriors and killing them.
1:39 am
the. government's responsibility after doing serious internal investigations should be to figure out if these officers were accessories to the extradition massacres if so they should bring criminal charges against them if instead they're guilty of negligence of judy or in discipline in this case to it shouldn't form the country that this was the cause of their dismissal you know. there's a very interesting inquiry by a center dealing with the declassification of secret documents in the u.s. called national security archive they have proved that this was not a new practice in the colombian armed forces let's say that there's a tradition of what's called body counting where they cut the number of enemy shot dead. essentially what we do with the. documents.
1:40 am
earliest document as for making this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in court because. they talk about here at a parent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military reported to the press that on that date it killed nine guerrillas in combat and sometimes their department investigations right and you know and there proclivity it strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military that's. the leading. with. the chemistry. of the. oh it's awful but for the worst human rights were those from those so i think
1:41 am
students of color of the one nine hundred ninety nine hundred ninety four again in one thousand nine hundred seven they're talking about it's body counts graham no most of it i'm not surprised but in all these years in washington they were perfectly aware of the colombian situation there was another they haven't done a thing you know your age and i can explain how you know this kind of phenomenon where the bodies are dressed up as they realize and presented as killed in action on and this and this idea that you need to produce bodies actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration one to get a. good look through the garbage in question of the military with the paramilitary suitable. for the park is devoted to extortion for kidnappings i'm recruiting of minors who kind of mentality look you know they don't care they have no regrets about trampling over international humanitarian law on the money they make money
1:42 am
with the international drug dealing with the with the mix with some of the significant increase from passengers and quantum. which those were just in the. kind of purity of what was going on for many things that really flows because she wanted to do earlier from here was one of two groups of them will refuse to tell you something or would one of the largest producer of the world looking for me. let me say i think. it's going to be the cia document central intelligence agency its intelligence memorandum from january twenty fourth colombian counterinsurgency staffs in the. right direction that's and that's one of the reasons they produce these documents because for a little bit wider dissemination in the government has been fifteen years. of more
1:43 am
three d. printing office refused to go through the stable. than through to the final solution the military has a history of assassinating left wing civilians in guerrilla areas cooperating with their contacts related paramilitary groups attacks against suspected or the sympathizers and killing the counter to the best it's. so pretty direct statement from the cia annex increase or and you know where they could be stopped it's together. these sort of analytical documents these are summaries of raw intelligence that they gather from different sources over to the post season for them to. use to shift the look at the meeting between. the reason to go get a free person who for the conclusion. of the secret is from google groups they knew about these activities they knew they were happening and knew about links to
1:44 am
paramilitary troops and yes u.s. aid continued to flow. closer reach. i mean the fact that it has it is going to. refute you she wants. or who i'm sure we're going to. put it through the resources you know to do so under somebody. whom the scrutiny as you put. the will for your quota for the ship or the raiders who. in the.
1:45 am
middle. of. this is the tenth meeting organized by the national movement of victims everywhere in the country dozens of people have taken part in these meetings thanks to them several legal actions have been undertaken allowing the identification of people responsible for violating human rights to. your money my brother's name was paid his kind of game as he was the first president of the corporation for the defense of human rights which in his part of the state crime victims association with you
1:46 am
know he was killed with two gunshots. this week even he was burnt to capitated knifed and his internal organs were extracted they also broke his legs. but. all this only because he was promoting an initiative that touched upon troublesome issues and was starting to bring certain truths to the surface that. there are hundred and thirty five thousand registered internal refugees in a region with a population of four hundred fifty thousand in other words thirty two percent of the population was forcibly displaced a part of the population is subject to food restrictions with police forces preventing foodstuffs from reaching the area there have been one hundred thirty five cases of executions committed by police officers and the executions known as false as positive alls.
1:47 am
terms find access to the justice system very difficult that first of all because of their economic situation. it's difficult for them to get a lawyer that you know. victims are socially segregated many live on the fringes of society or reside illegally so they can't say they are victims because they're being persecuted or outcasts. being a victim is shameful. as. well phone calls or notes with insults and warnings on them saying that if they talk they can fall victim to any sort of aggression a culture of fear among victims has built up they say things like i can't talk because so and so started talking and they've killed him or he's disappeared or he's being threatened that's why
1:48 am
a lot of people just won't talk. it's getting worse because the government has started intimidating people who want to report these things saying that those who report photos hoods will be prosecuted. our problem is that everyone has the right to turn to the legal system to report something. we are the first one to inquire into these cases and find out if they really are cases of fossils positive was. if they are we shall take all necessary steps and every responsibility but if they are not and they add to the long list of fake reports. to.
1:49 am
the. war we left got to go our our chief or. after one our noble inch of war. i thought two pm a here is was already that. waiting for us out on the boat and they made us go to the chicken killed our barracks to prove we were a family. somebody is they gave us a document there which we needed in chief or to collect the bodies. we gave the documents to the mayor and then we went to on earth the bodies. they were was dug outs and about four. of us alexander at four thirty.

walking in the park we heard people saying those relatives about scum. as if they didn't know us and they obviously repeated what they had heard.
1:51 am
1:52 am
regarding alexander's case we have always asked the state for transparency and justice. my mother says it all the time she doesn't want her son to be remembered as a criminal who died fighting. because that's not the truth it wasn't
1:53 am
a criminal you know what i don't understand why the government picks people and passes them off as does it leave us knowing that these people have a family what is days go out there and look for the real gorilla man and if you want a medal earned it by the sweat of your brow not just like you in the first guy you come across to be can bolt for the colombian people against that well and they've got no idea what pain their cause into their relatives so if we don't reconsider be armed conflicts and the excessive militarization of the country and if we don't go for a new democratic order we will never get out of the sad stage of action additional killings in our country. countries like britain the us france and germany. are sensitive to the fact that or any aid colombia receives. should respect human rights standards. that's why i was in favor of what the north american government
1:54 am
said a few days ago they said that to the plan colombia should be cut because the cash is being used to pay the rewards of a false positive us and that's out of the question. the truth is that the victims are getting organized and are generating significant social and political processes in colombia. the police cannot be built. on them kunal say. live below. it.
