cowardice in facing them. and i don't want to be a body to be also kind of the loud this distortion of effect of this of tainted by killing innocent to make them feel. bad day we decided to present our document. we had meticulously prepared 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. this is my. eyes and he. says it's. given me by the way our earlier the government finally made up its mind to take decisions and it should have taken years ago. if. the ministry of national defense. but he has decided to withdraw from active service. and summoned to court with the
7:33 pm
use of discretionary power. in the following members of the army as he and if it were not and it had. a bad day officers and servicemen were deprived of office. as well as known commissioned officers. including generals. it was them they were located in those very areas and alongside those brigades which we had reported to you as having the highest number of crimes against human beings. my you are handed out a major general go ahead of numbers what oberto the commander of the seventh division . brigadier general cortez franco who was a whack when he was commander of the second division. during my media show on october twenty ninth one of the. big target of us as i am treated us as air responsible man before. we just tolerated those deaths and
7:34 pm
do so much. from what we gather this is an administrative decision. despite the criminal investigation we are pursuing with the prosecutor's office. has led to the opening of several court cases. i'm sure arrest warrants against members of the army. it's a political decision about why the suv public opinion and luckily it stopped the ballots. because if they had carried on they would have had to throw out a poll division commander said 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 those positive us phenomenon. that we have counted over twelve hundred false was positive those victims they formally reported the such or were formally recognized as victims during our investigations. the question is can it be that as has
7:35 pm
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 cynic report. it says that the region with the most fossils positive most cases in two thousand and eight. is put forward by antioch here. he. is fifth or sixth. but it was the commander of the second division who paid for all the also as positive case. all this cannot be done by just small groups on their own initiative. where it's an issue that as can be seen requires very sophisticated planning at each level. and why is it not
7:36 pm
a scandal. this is. crazy. because it's almost in comprehensible. it's going to go imagine a patrol on the ground and they meet some peasant or guide in the area. go. back go over there this is in your. he's the one who planted mind. tells you that he planted the mines and i killed one of your men. he's a far civilian and brings food to the guerrillas. a commander who's leading a platoon. and who saw a brother in arms die the previous day on a my planted by bad guy. 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 a way he lived and grew you could learn and pineapple he also had some cows and
7:37 pm
pigs he was here all the time he was a farmer and the computer was found him one morning when i got a call telling me to come here because there were men in the house and nobody knew why that happened. if it was on enough of you before we let it was an anomaly it was a very alarming and distressing situation because we didn't know anything about that where he was what they've done to him this service man wouldn't talk they wouldn't answer any of our questions they said he had a gun this lady slept here so you have to take her away to she's a guerrilla fighter like that is a guerilla man i'm to. nothing look nothing not even a drop of blood. not even a drop of blood he too came outside and killed him. it's unbelievable.
7:38 pm
i was with you was all caught on tape everything plays where the back and i was there talking about where the weapons was. was because the phone. calls bull's eye was this possible. they had no right. to be out there they had to wait in line with these to simulate to lie to say he was a gorilla man come out to attack them to say she died fighting and you know i think the conditions we found my did smadi were dreadful i mean really painful awful humiliate in the greatest simulation a human being could receive from any one person and to find your father in the state thrown on the ground naked in the street it hurt it.
7:39 pm
shouldn't they be the ones who take care of us in is one who should care for the good and the honor of colombians. school in the annals he has imo we're talking about a crime committed only to show the world in the u. airs that their defeat and agree that well they're actually cumin innocent farmers and workers who are doing good to the country. because that 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 if so they should bring criminal charges against them and if instead they are guilty of negligence of judy or in discipline in this case to it shouldn't form the
7:40 pm
country that this was the cause of their dismissal you know there's a very interesting inquiry by a center dealing with that because a vacation 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. essentially what we do with. the release documents. earliest document is from thinking this is a cable from the u.s.
7:41 pm
embassy in what books. they talk about here it apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military reported to the press that on that they'd killed nothing to realize in combat and their department investigation. and their record to react strongly suggest over the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues. leading. with. the atmosphere we. were going. through the. oh it all for the both for the worst human rights record. pushed in the corner 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 to drone know myself that i'm not surprised but it all these years in washington they were perfectly aware of the colombian situation because of this and that they haven't done a thing you know your agent explained how you know this kind of phenomenon where
7:42 pm
bodies are dressed up as guerrillas and presented as killed in action and this and this idea that you need to produce products actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration with whom you go. through somebody's going to try to get them out of the military or militants from the close schools with whom for the last five bark is devoted to extortion kidnappings and recruiting of minors rapidly but i'm told it's not the you know they don't care they have no regrets about trampling over international humanitarian law the money they make money with the international drug dealing with who would do what the significant increase the passengers will come to them which was just in the. playbook purity it was over the country many things are going to flood the at least two or three of them
7:43 pm
to increase the earth to one that is from the oval was going overboard was perfectly because the ocean of the world. truthful to. make certain. that. it was going to go into the cia document so the intelligence agency itself intelligence memorandum from january to marry for colombian counter insurgency staffs and 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 for years. and of north korea's leader from the west point to him used to go through the to be able. to stay poor the rich the rich and all using the military has a history of assassinating the left wing civilians and guerrillas areas cooperating with their contacts related paramilitary groups it's toxic and suspect ariel
7:44 pm
sympathizers and killing after terrorists so pretty direct statement from the cia tonight in the case for and you know where they put these documents together. these sort of analytical documents these are summaries of raw intelligence that they gather from different sources for the postseason for them so. this can shift all of that is really. the reason he was would prefer for somebody who for the. for the seat is going to the people who they knew about these activities they knew they were happening that knew about links to paramilitary groups and yes u.s. aid continue to flood.
7:45 pm
7:46 pm
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 and thanks to them several legal actions have been undertaken allowing the identification of people responsible for violating human rights. your money my brother's name was paid is kind of a mistake but he was the first president of the corporation for the defense of human rights which is part of the state crime victims association with you know he was killed with two gunshots imo this week you bet he was burnt capitated knife when i miss internal organs were extracted they also broke his legs. but. all this only because he was promoting an initiative that touched on troublesome issues
7:47 pm
and was starting to bring certain truths to the surface in that it creates a 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 executions known as false as positive. timms find 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 that. victims are socially segregated many live on the
7:48 pm
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 to. her it's getting worse because the government has started intimidating people who want to report these things saying that those who are portfolios hoods will be prosecuted. are the problem is that everyone has the right to turn to the legal system to report something. so we are the first
7:49 pm
7:50 pm
that we left got to go our for cheap or. after one hour of war. at two pm but here is was already there. waiting for us out on the boat and they made us go to the chicken kira barracks to prove we were a family. nobody 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 on earth abilities. a real was dug out and a vote for. alexander at four thirty. pm it was but i was working in the park we heard people saying also relatives that scum. as if they didn't know us they obviously repeated what their heard.
7:53 pm
regarding alexander's case we have always asked the state for transparency and justice. a 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 you know i don't understand why the government picks people and passes them off as positives knowing that these people have a family what is a skill out there and look for the real gorilla man and if you want to meddle early
7:54 pm
by the sweat of your brow not just by killing the first guy you come across to be controlled for the colombian people i'm 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 action judicial killings in our country. countries like britain the us france and germany. are sensitive to the fact that any columbia 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 those positive oaths 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
