as seen in north korean diplomat was recently in the u.s. to discuss how to restart negotiations and last but exchange over the same area code for people with side with a child. there's the headlines coming up next two for the journey of two colombians as they try to find the truth behind the deaths of their relatives in a mysterious military operation that's now special report next week a low efficiency in the struggle against criminals to be confused with cowardice in facing them. we also cannot allow this distortion of effect to miss by killing innocent is a. bad 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

u.n. high commissioner for human rights. says. this. is . by the way an hour earlier the government finally made up its mind to take decisions it should have taken years ago. the ministry of national defense. it 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 dictated to and 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. alberto my mentor 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 metres a target of us has 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 here. 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
7:34 pm
moment because if they had carried on they would have had to throw out all 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 fall so it's positive those phenomenon. we have counted over twelve hundred false positive us victims formally report of a 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 ask 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 positive most cases in two
7:35 pm
thousand and eight. by i'm. not a he. is fifth or sixth. 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 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 that go over there. he's the one who planted mind.
7:36 pm
tells you that he planted the mines that killed one of your men. brings food to the guerillas a commander who's leading a platoon. saw a brother in arms die of the previous day on a my plan to buy back. my 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 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 your letter was an anomaly it was a very alarming and distressing situation because we didn't know anything about
7:37 pm
that where he was what they'd done to him this service man 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 to 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 all on me come on tape everything please and where the weapon is where the weapons they're talking about where the weapon. was. going was. i was this possible. they had no right. to you know they had to leave this to simulate to lie to say he was
7:38 pm
a guerrilla man come out to attack them to say she died fighting and you know i think the conditions we found my dad's mahdi would rattle. really painful awful humiliating 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 foulness and workers who are doing good to the country. probably because they're incapable of finding the real warriors and killing them.
7:39 pm
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 shouldn't form 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
7:40 pm
what we do is press the government to release documents on us foreign policy national security. earliest document that i have is from one thousand nine hundred this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in colombo. they talk about here an apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military reported to the press that on that day that killed nine guerrillas in combat and over a mosque on time their department investigation by instructs you including you know and their proclivity to yet strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues i won't be. the leading recipient who is more in the atmosphere probably. for the rest of the truth
7:41 pm
through the night the ninety's through the years. 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 it's body counts and drum know myself that i'm not surprised that 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 that 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's whom you have to through our basic package of them the military the paramilitary the issue closely being groomed for that fight is devoted to extortion kidnappings and recruiting of minors i mean. not you know they
7:42 pm
don't care they have no regrets about trampling over international humanitarian law money they make money with international drug dealing with the good of the significantly increase the capacity of the globe you know. which has we're just in the kind of security over the country many things are ruthless because we salute least the. urban areas you're going to increase the river if you choose to be. the largest internally displaced population of the world butchered four million. maybe second. to the cia document central intelligence agency it's a intelligence memorandum from january nine hundred eighty four colombian counter
7:43 pm
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 officers used to go through this very. those who stayed for there's. the military has a history of assassinating left wing civilians and guerrilla areas cooperating with their contacts related paramilitary groups at a 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 for the postseason for the mood. is to shift north of the train. collision to the girls that are free from bush move. and if you go to the sea it is
7:44 pm
good that you know they knew about these activities they knew they were happening to you about links to paramilitary groups and yes 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 who should be will. put it to the resources will want to go to also under somebody richard kuhn in this part of the disease but. the will figure for the ship were it the.
7:45 pm
good ship moved on she wouldn't leave the country on the loop with. close rules that period for. two inches away to the first miserable. to the health police move a good kid and shows you the whole little girl who will. 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. 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 with he was killed with two gunshots . he was burnt to 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
7:47 pm
positive. terms 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. 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
7:48 pm
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're the first who want to inquire into these cases and find out if they really are cases of fossils positive those. 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.
7:49 pm
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 to collect the bodies. we gave the documents to the mayor and then we went to on earth the bodies. they were

regarding alexander's case we have always asked the state for transparency and
7:53 pm
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 is safe to go out there and look for the real gorilla man and if you want to meddle only by the sweat of your brow not just by killing the first guy you come across to be can bold before the colombian people against that and they've got no idea of the pain their cause into their relatives so if we don't reconsider the 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 extradition killings in our country. countries like britain the us france and germany.
7:54 pm
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 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. peace cannot be built. on impunity. plinth .
