we cannot allow efficiency in the struggle against criminals to be confused with cowardice in facing them. we also cannot allow this distortion of effect to miss tainted by killing innocents. is in the. day we decided to present our document. 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. says. it's. by the way our earlier the government finally made up its mind to take decisions it should have taken years ago that. the ministry of national defense. has decided to withdraw from active service.

and someone to court with the use of discretionary power. the following members of the army. officers and service men were deprived of office as well as noncommissioned officers. including generals who. it was that they were located in those very areas and belong to those brigades which we had reported as having the highest number of crimes against human beings. my major general. commander of the seventh division. brigadier general cortez franco who was a. commander of the second division. during that media show on october twenty ninth. of two meters they targeted us as

treated us as a man. who just tolerated those deaths. from what we gather this is an administrative decision. despite the criminal investigation we are pursuing with the prosecutor's office. and it's led to the opening of several court cases. i'm to arrest warrants against members of the army . it's a political decision but why the suv public opinion luckily it stopped at that moment 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 and they can show the government is actually doing something to fight the false positive us phenomenon. we have counted over twelve hundred false positive us victims formally report of the such or 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. i asked the same question. it happened in all divisions it happened everywhere. i read a c.n.n. report. it says that the region with the most false was positive most cases in two thousand and eight. followed by i'm. not a b. . is faith or six. but it was the commander of the second division who paid for all the positive case all this cannot be done by just small groups on their own initiative. it's an issue 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. over there. 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 a platoon. saw a brother in arms die of the previous day on a mine planted by back i. might 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 she was here all the time he was a farmer and the computer was fond of him one morning when i got a cold telling me to come here because there were men in the house and nobody knew why that happened. it was on us and europe. was an anomaly it was a very alarming and distressing situation because we didn't know anything about that where he was what they'd done to him this service men 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 a guerrilla fighter and that 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.

we was only come on tape everything please where the weapons where the weapons they talking about where are the weapons. that was. one of. the bull's eye was this possible. they had no right. to you know they had to leave these to simulate to lie to say she was a guerilla man to come out to attack them to say she died fighting you know i think the conditions we found my dad's mahdi would dreadful i mean really painful awful humiliate in the greatest humiliation a human being could receive from anyone. to find your father in the state thrown on

the ground naked mistreated told it. shouldn't they be the ones who take care of us. who should care for the good and the owner of colombians . we are talking about a crime committed only to show the world and the u.s. that their defeat in the green well they're actually cumin innocent pharmacist workers who are doing good to the country. probably because they're incapable of finding the real warriors and killing them. the government's responsibility after doing serious internal investigations should be to figure out if these officers were accessories to the extradition massacres and if so they should bring criminal charges against them if instead they're guilty

of negligence of judy. indiscipline in this case too it should inform the country that this was the cause of their dismissal and then there's a very interesting inquiry by a center dealing with the declassification of secret documents in the us 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. sensually and what we do is press the government to release documents on us foreign policy national security policy.

earliest document that i think it's from one thousand nine hundred this is a cable from the us embassy in colombo. they talk about here an apparent 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 investigation by instructs young couldn't you know and their proclivity to strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues will be. the leading recipient of this war period in the hemisphere probably. for the rest of them. through the ninety's through the years. for the for the worst human rights issue those two factors tend to correlate one nine hundred ninety one thousand nine hundred four again in one thousand nine hundred seventy and they're talking about this body counts and drone know myself that i'm not surprised but in all these years in washington they were perfectly aware of the colombian situation. and that they

haven't done a thing you know your age and they explain. and how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as guerrillas and presented as killed in action and this and this idea that you need to produce bodies actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration whom you have to through a major attack in the military the paramilitary she moved close to being groomed for that fight is devoted to extortion kidnappings and recruiting of minors operate with that mentality you know they don't care if they have no regrets about trampling over international humanitarian law money they make money with international drug dealing. with. the significant increase the capacity to do it on me which shows we're just in the kind of purity over the country many things are reduced like the flu at least in the. urban areas

for you. to increase the number or if you choose to be one of the largest in terms with this is the lucian of the world. trade for. the second. this is a cia document central intelligence agency it's a intelligence memorandum from january nineteenth area for colombian counter insurgency steps in the right direction and that's one of the reasons they produced these documents is for a little bit wider dissemination in the government has been fifty one percent years . of military training or officers used to go through this there are. those from the state department there's rational. the military has a history of assassinating left wing civilians and guerrilla areas cooperating with

their contacts related paramilitary groups it's time. skin suspected guerrilla sympathizers and killing captured that it's. so pretty direct statement from the cia in one thousand nine hundred four and you know when they put these documents together. these sort of analytical documents these are summaries of raw intelligence that they gather from different sources part of the post-season for someone who. is to shift move through the training. regime to the government that are free from bush who feel. if you go to the c.e.o. it is good that you they knew about these activities they knew they were happening and you were about links to paramilitary groups and yet. usaid continued to flow.

closer reach. i mean the fact that it has it is hard to. refute you should assume it's going to be scandals that everyone should be will. put it to good resources or would want to go to also under somebody richard kuhn in the sport of disease but. the wolf the earth or the ship or the. ship moved on she wouldn't leave the country on the ludeman. close rules that period for us. to which is the way to the fullest measurable. health police move would not get included and shows you the whole little girl would

put a little bit of. this is the tenth meeting organized by the national movement of victims everywhere in the country thousands of people have taken part in these meetings thanks to bam several legal actions have been undertaken allowing the identification of people responsible for violating human rights. that. my brother's name was. he was the first president of the corporation for the defense of human rights which is part of the state crime victims association where it was killed with two gunshots. he was burnt capitated knifed and his internal organs were extracted they also broke his legs. only because he was

promoting an initiative that touched upon troublesome issues and was starting to bring certain truths to the surface. there are hundred 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 executions known as false positives. the 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. 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. mobile 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 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 false hoods will be prosecuted. the problem is that everyone

has the right to turn to the legal system to report something. we are the first who want to inquire into these cases and find out if they really are cases of fossils positive us. if they are we shall take all necessary steps and every responsibility but if they are not then they add to the long list of fake reports.

we left got to go our for. after one hour inch of war. at two pm but here is was already that. waiting for us. when they made us go to the chicken kira 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 out at about four. xander at four thirty. am in the spot i was walking in the park we heard people saying relatives that scum. as if they didn't know us they obviously repeated what they had heard.

i 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 a criminal. i don't understand why the government picks people and passes and off as positive as knowing that these people have a family what he say's go out there and look for the real gorilla man and if you

want to meddle earn it by the sweat of your brow not just by killing the first guy you come across to be can bolt before the colombian people come against that and they've got no idea of the pain their cause into their relatives so if we don't reconsider the armed conflict 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 extradition killings in our country. countries like britain the us france and germany. are sensitive to the fact that any aid colombia receives. should respect human rights standards. that's why i was in favor of what the north american government 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 for the 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 support peace cannot be built. on impunity. plinth . let. me let. me. explain please please.

please. let. me. let me live. please. let. me elaborate live live

live eleven. a lot of. young. cats.
