3:30 am
it's our fault now or i'm also saying this is all to recap of the stories that shaped the week of bush's street riots that led to a result of the arrests turned into a bunch of policing is how they come from on the scene but ohmss it's having their rangoli governments in seeking help from concedes. the u.s. gets a downgrade of its top notch credit statements from a major raisings agency which also gave the country and negative effects on. the
3:31 am
move sent shock waves through trade the markets which ensured that the toughest three years. of self-possessed stream years this week since george's deadly minute he had sent it to b c's attempts to regain control of the territory resulted in a five day school paid conference of and some are. coming up next we followed the journey of two colombians and they tried to find the truth behind the desk of their relatives in a mysterious operation in the south and bought all special. we cannot allow efficiency in the struggle against criminals to be confused with cowardice in facing the corn. we also kind of allow this distortion of effect a miss of tainted by killing innocent to make them feel. 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
3:32 am
including the visit of the un high commissioner for human rights as he says. it was and he. says this. will be done you know by the way it's going to our earlier the government finally made up its mind to take decisions it should have taken two years ago. is that right now 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 has yet to put an end to the head. but day officers and servicemen were deprived of office. as well as known commissioned officers. including generals. that. it was that they were located in those very areas and belong to those brigades which we had reported to
3:33 am
you as having the highest number of crimes against human beings. my your opinion and major general piccola head of numbers would oberto the commander of the seventh division. to get their general cortez franco who was a whack when one commander of the second division. during that media show on october twenty ninth one of the. big target of us as i'm treated us as a response schoolma'am look just tolerated those deaths and do so. from what we gather this is a kind of ministry to physician. despite the criminal investigation we are pursuing with the prosecutor's office here i think it's 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 luckily had stopped the bats
3:34 am
. because if they had carried on that it would have had to throw out a whole 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. we have counted over twelve hundred fell so it's positive those victims formally report of the such or were formally recognized as victims during our investigations. you know 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. he said but i ask the same question and it happened in all divisions but it happened everywhere. i read a cynic report. it says that the region with the most pulse was positive most cases
3:35 am
in two thousand and eight. this polled by antioch here. he. is fifth or sixth. so that was the commander of the second division who paid for all the also was 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. people cameras and why is it not a scandal. this is. causing a. great thing 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 over there this is in your case. he's the one who planted mind.
3:36 am
tells you that he planted the mines killed one of your men. he's a fark civilian and brings food to the guerrillas a commander who is leading a platoon. and who saw a brother in arms die of 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 the 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 going to him one morning and i got a cold telling me to come here because there were men in the house and nobody knew why that happened. if you were on a bus and you. let it was an anomaly it was a very alarming and distress and situation because we didn't know anything about
3:37 am
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 too she's a guerrilla fighter i disagree and then i'm 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. the rules of the rules all only come on t.v. everything please and where the badness that does the talking about where the weapons. was. was part of. the bull's eye was this possible. they have no rights. years and they had to leave these to simulate to live to say he was
3:38 am
a gorilla man he would come out to attack them to say she died fighting as you now are angled back to the conditions we found my did smadi with dreadful. 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 to mistreat it heard it. 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. 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
3:39 am
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 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 not you know 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
3:40 am
dead. essentially what we do know is. to release documents. earliest document as from this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in colombo. the talk back here at a parent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military reported to the press that on that they had killed nine guerrillas in combat and their department investigations by insects and there were three strongly suggest however that and i were executed by the army and then dressed in military that's. the leading. with. the atmosphere probably.
3:41 am
through the. yours but also would vote for the worst human rights were. going to. push him to correlate one thousand nine hundred ninety four again in their two hundred seven they're talking about it's body counts too prone no myself that i'm not surprised but in all these years in washington they were perfectly aware of the colombian situation but i think this was not they haven't done a thing like to explain how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as gorillas and presented as killed in action on everest and the idea that you need to produce bodies actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration's who want to get a. good thriller basically have to get them out of the military or milk for the he'll of close to twenty one for the last five fark is devoted to extortion kidnappings and recruiting of minors the group had
3:42 am
a majority look you know they don't care they have no moral regrets about trampling over international humanitarian law. they make money with international drug dealing with the with the explicit do it with the significant increase passengers home do nothing. which was just in the. middle of purity over the country many things you recall flick. me with. the earth from the bottom to increase the earth because we are was one of the largest personally because it was toward the ocean of the world. who cared for them and. made certain. that. it. was going. to the cia documents so the intelligence agency its intelligence memorandum from january to
3:43 am
ninety four colombian counterinsurgency staffs in the. direction and that's one of the reasons they produced these documents is for a little bit wider dissemination in the government has been fifteen years. of military. training he refused to go through the people. like there's two states for the rich the rich will simply leave the military has a history of assassinating left wing civilians or guerrilla areas cooperating with their contacts related to current military groups or strikes against suspected terrorists sympathizers and killing the captured two guys it's. so pretty direct statement from the cia trained to notice and pray for and you know where they could be starters together in. these sort of analytical darkness these are summaries of raw intelligence that they gather from different sources for the postseason for them so i don't know which of. these can shift to move to the really. the reason to
3:44 am
go forward freefall for the summer or for the future and if you google c.e.o. think we can do it they knew about these activities they knew they were happening and knew about race to paramilitary groups and yes usaid continued to flow. in quantities that reached. on the fact that it has it against her to. refute tradition she wants to. or we should be willing to. put it through the resources needed not to do it also under somebody's richard whom the support of the essential. who will see her over the ship are very good.
3:45 am
on the. clothes the author. of. this. book. there. 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
3:46 am
whole well paid is kind of a mistake but it was the first president of the corporation for the defense of human rights which in as part of the state crime victims association with you know he was killed with two gunshots i know this if we came in 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 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 executions known as false
3:47 am
as positive. 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 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 are 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
3:48 am
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 and 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 who want to inquire into these cases and find out if they really are cases of fossils positive was. he says 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.
3:49 am
we left got to go our portugal. after one hour we were in she wore. at two pm but here is was already there. 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 and she bore to collect the bodies. we gave the
3:50 am
documents to the mayor and then we went through on earth the bodies. they were was dug out at about four. alexander at four thirty pm it was but i was walking in the park we heard people saying also relatives that's gone. as if they didn't know us they obviously repeated what they had heard.
3:51 am
i am.
3:52 am
3:53 am
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 i say is 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 controlled for 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 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 actually judicial killings in our country. countries like britain the us france and germany.
3:54 am
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 fed a few days ago they said that to the plan colombia should be cut because the cash is being used to pay the boards for the false was 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. live .
