1:39 am
he was never in the army he didn't know a thing about weapons and there 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 had a few screws loose how could he have a machine gun. that killed them and they put weapons beside them it's easy. i.

was it doesn't prove a case exploded precisely one month after the defense minister declared september ninth national human rights day in the city and. he also said that a lot of the executions were practically over. and the defense minister told us on september the ninth just over a month ago what follows some continue ignoring reality and they try to sell a false hope government always say regarding extrajudicial executions as they improperly cold they use their numbers to diligent demise police forces but when these reports are actually investigated nothing is ever found that. in let's temper the events in so archer were revealed. these events unearth the truth that can no longer be hidden.
1:41 am
cases of young people disappearing in so watch and found murdered in a cave in the sometime dare region of north and inclement our work published. it was the last straw. the reports made public the overwhelming m natural reality of fossils positive was and extrajudicial killings. many people didn't believe it and. it started to become clear that it wasn't just isolated cases but a model of a scandal showing the full atrocity of the fossils positivist case finally exploded a little. i had the opportunity of presenting the problem to present to rebel on
1:42 am
various occasions in the past and the watching 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. it would discredit it as an international smear campaign. a guerilla has a new strategy because. every time a warrior is shot dead it is immediately claimed at home and abroad. that was an extrajudicial execution. along. the at a scene from a lumber has the largest number of murders of union members in the world simply
1:43 am
because they were doing their job that. is the colombian state for peculiar store cold empty sociological reasons has slowly turned into a criminal apparatus for the men of at the very least for the whole institutions of the state have taken on this form. first through torture then with the desaparecidos but the creation of a paramilitary groups that turned into a strategy which has had the form of a very strong national structure for my good enough and i would we've worked with this then the practice of extrajudicial executions and forced displacement. that's for the forms of social control in such an elitist and all sorts hereon country and in such a polarized society turns violence into
1:44 am
a tool for regular isolation. was. going to stoke on beyond this state. if colombia has generated policy steps favor a massive systematic violation of human rights this. has very serious deficits as far as justice is concerned that a general rule in colombia is impunity. for the policies of secure a data 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
1:45 am
has grown rapidly it was in the last few years it has doubled in strength because of the armed struggle in the country as 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 as to turn the power military 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 a colombian to secure a dad's democratica is a good thing 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 with. the
1:46 am
rewards policy is necessary to fight crime. but we really should revise that policy that we if we don't it is either interpreted wrongly or fulfilled in a criminal manner but here is in we know 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 but it also allows them to advance in their careers to win the respect of other service men. but it helps gain decorations and it often wins them rewards and cash which also end up in the hands of civilians recruiters of these young men and of some service men.
1:47 am
for. you. in. in the. book is because here i first took part because of a neighbor of mine. is near moore's abio son one son thiago. my job was to go around bars with him to help sell cocaine. on january third or fourth
1:48 am
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 i didn't know was for the army only found out there and then those kids were for the army that. would look easy when you face now in. 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. the army buys them like merchandise fabio would give me four hundred six hundred or seven hundred per person leave me a buying just over there. a friend came looking for him at a mall five thirty pm and then bluntly to ask him who are you looking for and he answered ok don't kid down to the small window on the second floor and came out and
1:49 am
they stand it somewhere in the park for a while and then left that was the last time anyone saw him. look at 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 then simply take them out of town and hand them over to the army and they say he'd been offered to pay eight hundred thousand passes plus board and launch and. we went there to pick up two kids isn't the it was about seven or eight pm and there was an army lorry waiting for us. coming in their lives it was that and 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
1:50 am
because of a shot dead an enemy. the soldiers would get home leave and then we could sell them coke. there's a young woman so we get two deals for the price of one. you know this that's what these people were saying in the bars. because they are people without ordinary feelings. they just go around telling people how they sold them and how much they made. all of. them got no problem telling you what happens to these kids very lonely procedure was always the same. thing to i can you know and when the order came from the battalion to deliver them would hand them over to the army.
1:51 am
after seeing the photos they got in touch with actor and they told me i had to go to iraq to stop custody prestigious to get custody of the body wants to give us new some deliberate we went to recover the bodies. once they gave us notice of 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. it was going to go to barbara koa at about nine am. on. the. air they gave us the medical examination papers for my brother alexander with them with. their legs on the limb i know and for no barrel will be other young man who died with him. at the medical examination office they gave us the death certificate and the woman who was the medical examiner there were cold war.
1:53 am
so they'd give us the bodies we thought that if we did arrive in time we could have buried them in bogota the same day. if they'd injured him because when 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 my saddest part of the story was when nobody arrows mom asked me the meaning of death by acute hemorrhage like anemia or killed because she didn't understand. i thought the clearest thing to say was that i bled to death you know execute him ranjit and the media we asked what it was and they said they let to death both of
1:54 am
them actors brother and a row. and they died so close to the hospital in the city you know it wouldn't. being logical for the army people themselves even if they were real criminals 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 want while the twain it was worthwhile to let them die so they could show them off as find some suppose he wants.
