Captivating Army civilians for awards

... For whom no one misses

Disappeared one by one, after a few, quietly.Systematically across the country for several years. In total, about three thousand men. What happened to them?
1st

First disappeared Alex Arenas, 2 January 2008 In December, the day before Christmas Eve, after quitting time of construction buddies confessed that he caught a great Moonlighting and goes on a journey, and then downloads them to each other. Cecilia, the older sister, said he intends to bring some money for their 80-year-old mother. Sister also helped because her husband was seriously ill. Cecilia says that was their mainstay. He was 33 years old.

Jaime Castillo, told his brother that he would soon leave to work on the land, is a good proposal. He was a street vendor of soap and jam, earning pennies. August 10 no trace of him. He was 42 years.

Diego Tamayo, 25 years old, my mother left a note on the refrigerator: watch out for myself, I'll be back on Monday.Note: look after the rabbit. He dreamed of a veterinarian, but where he, a boy from Soacha, for college? He took on every job: someone to paint a house, a truck to transport bricks. August 23 mom wanted to take him to the cousin's birthday, but said he prefers to stay at home. She went alone. When Diego went out about the other night, snapped a chat with the caretaker of the block. He said that he was going away, but who can not reveal the secret.

Andres Palacio recalled his mother about a possible trip - that kind of invite some friends to the coast. You better watch out, she told him to do so, we do not have friends on the coast. I see that as that szwenda with strangers, then call the police. Maybe the guerrillas or the other thugs?

Concerns mothers are not imaginary. Soacha, poor suburb of Bogota, where several hundred thousand people dead, a cluster of all Colombia's woes, you may say, the capital of hopelessness. Poverty, robbery, theft, illegal recruitment site partyzantek, band, a good portion of people are banished from the interior - the victim of long armed conflict, many addicted to alcohol and drugs, basin cheapest labor, domestic violence against women and children. Palacia Andres mother was vigilant, because years ago one of the political gangs killed her elder son. But how upilnować 22-year-old? Andres disappeared Aug. 23, the same day as Diego Tamayo. She learned later from friends son that he told them to leave for work. And that the money he earned to buy a house for her.

August 23 also disappeared without a word of another young man - Victor Gomez. All of them - and another 11 from Soacha and three from the nearby slum of Ciudad Bolivar, who disappeared between January and August 2008 - did not know each other.

2nd

For Fernando Escobar, a local ombudsman - many municipalities in Colombia has its defender of civil rights - began to reach the signals of those who disappeared without a trace. From May 2008 to the office came to their mothers, sisters, brothers, instructing that information with pictures of missing to take to the office of missing persons search. At meetings of local authorities, police and army ombudsman warned that the Soacha something is wrong.He believed that young guerrillas kidnapped or recruited from the FARC, Colombia's oldest guerrilla red once, either paramilitares , branches opened by latyfundystów and cocaine traffickers. But politicians and the military responded ombudsmanowi screaming that took up their business, not politics.

Ombudsman did not have many specifics in his hand - only three families of missing persons reports, plus their own guesses. He decided to question him further - and wait. In Colombia, often missing are not reported to any authorities, ombudsman was not surprised. He was surprised when he learned of six consecutive missing persons in a short time in one suburb.

The breakthrough came in the last days of August 2008, when a family member called his mother and Diego Tamayo said that her son was probably killed in a skirmish with one of the army of illegal armed groups in another region of Colombia, in the town of Ocana, over 600 km west, and that the information about it appeared in the online edition of one of the local newspapers. In a message that included the suggestion that Diego died since belonged to the guerrillas.

1 September, exactly a week after the disappearance of his son, Diego's mother received news of the confirmation of his death. The body was in the institution called Medicina Legal, Ocana. Medicina Legal has branches across the country and keep a register of the dead in unnatural circumstances: the victims of accidents, assaults and armed conflict. Gets their DNA, fingerprints, photographs do, if the victim has the documents, inform the family, if not, the body buried as NN system makes comparison of data from the Medicina Legal, and the information office of missing persons search goes on, even after a long time, establish the identity of anonymous victims.

Body of missing 18 of Soacha and Ciudad Bolivar - with the exception of Alex Arenas, whose delay "appeared" in another region of Colombia - found their way into mass graves in Ocana. Most were buried as NN Information on all deaths reported to Medicina Legal soldiers from 15 Brigade volatile - as killed in skirmishes with their partisans.

3rd

The media made a noise. Why all the vanishing of the body at different times of Soacha were several hours away to the north, in the same place? Ombudsman, who initially took note that the men gave to recruit partisans - in Colombia is no sensation - began to doubt, when juxtaposed with the dates of the date of disappearance, in which the military reported Medicina Legal to their death in battle. Diego Tamayo, Victor Andres Gomez Palacio and disappeared August 23 - killed on 25 August. Jaime Castillo, disappeared August 10 - killed on 12 August. Elkin Verano disappeared January 13 - killed January 15; Jaime Valencia and Daniel Martinez, disappeared February 6 - February 8 killed them ... With one exception, all died within 48 hours after the disappearance of the house. The road to the north, more than 600 km from Soacha to Ocana, then at least a dozen hours of driving. And where is the time for guerrilla training? Handling of weapons, learn to shoot?

When the media began to roar, President Alvaro Uribe spoke: "These boys did not go to collect the coffee, went to break the law." Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos asserted that those killed belonged to illegal armed groups and were killed in skirmishes with the army. He added: "The command of the army and the ministry will not tolerate human rights violations."

That last sentence gave in to think about the famous Colombian human rights activist. After the Soacha men died in battle as partisans. So what the minister knew about Santos disappearances and killings that by anyone niepytany hastily assured that there was no violation of human rights?

4th

Prosecution investigation showed that the military with civilian agents offering young men from the shantytowns well-paid job in another region of the country, then killed them and portrayed as the underdog in the fight against guerrillas, mostly from the FARC. Under instruction No. 29 of 17 November 2005, adopted by the government, for the capture or killing of members of illegal armed groups of officers and soldiers had to receive special bonuses. How much was paid for the dead and how divided the money, no one certainly knows, the army guards the secret, according to the clues, from 800 to 1500 dollars. The soldiers are showing success in getting additional unicestwianiu guerrillas leave, some were promoted faster.

In Soacha recruit one of the places of the victims was a bar "Los Costeńos" to which men come zapijać sorrows. Two recruiter - one of them stopped, but for another offense - were known in the area since. You got recruited 200 thousand. pesos (about $ 100.). Recruits were brought by car or bus to Ocana, there stayed in the house officer Alexandra Dias Carretero, watered them with alcohol. We know this thanks to its unique witness - 17-year-old Ballesteros Osorio then Katerina, the wife of that officer's cousin, who recognized the pictures of some men from Soacha. At home, cousins ​​heard talk about what has happen to them. The next day they were brought to the place of carnage on the road patrol sham usually receive their documents (because the later of Medicina Legal ended up in mass graves, they were buried as NN). At the end of the journey - the execution. The military reported the deaths to Medicina Legal as guerrillas killed in combat, and they could no longer eligible for bonuses and prizes.

A treacherous abduction and killing by an army of men from poor neighborhoods all of Colombia found out when the case broke in Soacha, but there were those who sensed something earlier. Military Judge Alexander Cortes, who in different regions of the country studied the cases of those who died in battle - he thought - the guerrillas. He was astounded that a FARC guerrilla walked alone with the old gun squad of soldiers, that another had trouble with the kidneys, anemia, and difficulty in walking, that killed some were dressed in clothes too big, others - dressed too thickly as the tropical climate ( probably arrived from the towns in the mountains, where cooler, and immediately they came into balls). There were those who had a new pair of shoes left to right, right to left leg. Some people do not shoot (no traces of gunpowder on his face), and the bullets that killed them, fired at close range. Judge Cortes amazed so many things that he was released from the army.

When evidence of crimes could not be denied, President Uribe and Minister Santos acknowledged that "members of the armed forces may have participated in the killings," "errors were made in the procedure and control" and there were "serious negligence at different levels." With a bang fired 27 senior officers, including three generals. Expelled for failing their duties. None of them stood before the court.

5th

Felipe Zuleta, famous in Colombia, human rights activist and political commentator, talks with impotent rage, which the people elected as a sacrifice: - They were usually young men, it happened that a minor who did not go to school, they had no permanent job, lived on poverty areas. It happened that some had had conflicts with the law, abusing alcohol, drugs. Word - some of which hardly anyone will be sorry, no one misses them. Their social profile was to be a guarantee that it will not matter.

When the media began to trumpet that the men from Soacha deceitfully abducted and killed, all over the country came to the avalanche report missing people in a similar way. Began the investigation, arrest suspects. President Uribe and Minister Santos tried to sell the public a theory about a few rotten apples in the basket: abuses are isolated, the army is healthy, but hit a broken unit. This explanation fell under the weight of facts: the killings were made ​​at 90 percent. the country, attended by more than 40 units of the army. According to human rights organizations and those that monitor the armed conflict in Colombia (national and international) over an eight-year rule Uribe army murdered in this way more than three thousand. men. As much as they were annihilated during the 17-year dictatorship of Pinochet in Chile. - This is a state crime - considered Zuleta .

How can such a crime was possible, at which the soil has grown? The answer is long, reaching deep into the history of the Civil War. In the 80s treacherously murdered four thousand. leftist activists of the party then set up the Patriotic Union, it was designed to carry out the FARC guerrillas to civilian political life. The killers were military men and paramilitares . It was genocide, odstrzeliwano people according to political criteria, based on group membership. - Impunity in Colombia government has a long history, is unfortunately a part of political culture - says Zuleta, whose grandfather was a president, and the second president of the Supreme Court.

How devilish idea to take a defenseless target for slum? - It worked coupling material incentives, and political ideology of the government, called Democratic Security - a Colombian version of the war on terror - says Zuleta. - As part of the Democratic Security policy, the army slowly everything is out of control. And here's yet created a system of material and professional incentives that encourage and deepen abuse.That's right: the military got awards and promotions for the dead "insurgents" and the government could boast of the successes of the Democratic Security policy.

6th

Soacha, Saturday morning, communal flat in a block. Idaly Garcera, Diego Tamayo's mother, shows the son of peace, and photographs. Then comes La Paisa - as everyone calls her - the mother of Andres Palacia dwuipółletnim grandson, son of Andres, who was born after his father's death, comes Carmenza Gomez, mother of Victor Gomez, and others. Do not really want to meet, needed a favor a few trusted people.

For families, the nightmare did not end with the disclosure of the truth. Palacia Andres mother and his brother receive telephone threats. Several mothers were victims of physical assault unknown assailants on motorcycles who are getting to them in dark alleys, threatened them with death and siblings were murdered. One of the dead brother, John Smith Porrasowi, the torturers would leave cards on the door: "You can bolt on here, but as soon as you leave, dorwiemy you." After further threats boyfriend moved out.

Mrs. Carmenzy second son, John Nilson Gomez, someone pushed from the viaduct. He survived. And again, phone: "Nothing has not yet learned? Not enough you what happened to my brother, stop sniffing. " 4 February 2009 at six o'clock in the afternoon John played at the local mall on the slot machines. The masked man rode up on a motorcycle and shot him up close in the face. John died in hospital the next morning.

Ombudsman of Soacha Fernando Escobar, who normally comes with security (threats got more than a dozen times) and usually does not answer the cell when the caller does not know, at a meeting in a hotel in Bogota came alone. -Sometimes it's better that even the security guards did not know - he says. - Welcome to Colombia .

Most are in memory of his opinion that in Colombia - although the crimes of the army a lot has been said and wrote - no one wants to hear about this case. It's not just about fear and indifference to death. - My friends, the people of the so-called. good homes, often asked me: Why do you returned the head? Life is worth risking the death of some scum, petty thieves? And I say that, even if they all were at odds with the law - so what? They could, just, just to kidnap and kill?

7th

The murders of men from Soacha still not convicted anyone, but in mid-July, the first sentence is to be made on the eight military guilty of the death of two abducted. Case deaths of Soacha is fragmented into many processes which are pending before various courts. Initially arrested 56 officers and soldiers facing charges: kidnapping and murder. Defenders of the accused stretched kruczkami legal process and arrest time. When the expired terms acceptable to keep under lock and key without trial, the accused went free. The processes of the snail, the majority after two years did not come from the preliminary phase.

Pilar Castillo, an attorney who represents five families before a court of Soacha, talks about the disappearance of a key witness - the young woman who saw the cousins ​​were abducted in the house and heard that they have to be killed. - was included in the witness protection program, until one day, suddenly resigned of protection and disappeared without a trace.

In other trials against the military, which are ongoing throughout Colombia, was sentenced only sixty some killers - and takes place fifteen hundred prosecutions in cases involving more than two thousand dead. In conversations with families, lawyers, human rights defenders, journalists feel that hardly anyone believes that justice will prevail. Rather - that will be given to dozens of military, usually the lower batches to clean the image of the army, the government of the country.

Mother of Soacha sent a letter to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, to be interested in his tragedy the world. And to the local judiciary, and the Colombian government felt breath on the back of world opinion.

8th

Few have the courage to even raise the question of political responsibility, not to mention współwinie people at the top of power. Ombudsman will not say this word: - If I started talking about politics, at best, that discredited me as a terrorist tie. I can only support actions for the direct perpetrators.

Here makes an allusion to the accusations against government critics and human rights defenders to throw over the years President Uribe.

American Human Rights Watch says in a report from 2009 that "high officials of government, including President Uribe, for years denied the existence of the problem [extrajudicial executions - ed] and accused of human rights defenders that by submitting reports about them, act in The campaign planned by the guerrillas in order to discredit the armed forces. " It was even worse: DAS - the political police - zastraszała human rights defenders and journalists, and was involved in political assassinations. Many of these cases are waiting for an explanation.

Hardly anyone speaks bluntly as Felipe Zuleta. He talked with the high officers implicated in crime, who told him off the record , that every day they phoned the commander of the army chief Gen. Mario Montoya, and tone nalegającym inquired: "How many insurgents have killed today?".(Montoya is accused in another trial - the compounds of paramilitares ). It is doubtful that the officers repeated this in any process. Solidarity mafia operates, also something might happen to them - they just know how it works.Unanswered question hovers: Is someone who was more than a general Montoya, called to him with similar questions?

- Even after the crime came to light - says Zuleta - Minister Santos said that the criminal dealings ended, because he, the minister gave such an order. That is admitted that it was a crime under control or at least possible to control.

Recently the weekly magazine "Semana" published the revelations, according to which the government and the army command knew since mid-2007 that the military kidnap, kill and represent dead as dead guerrillas. UN worker then asked Defence Minister Santos and one of the commanders of the army Gen. Freddy Padilla a confidential meeting, which was also attended by a soldier. That soldier confessed that he participated in a criminal group trudniącej procedure and that he withdrew when the army murdered his father and presented as a fallen guerrilla.According to "Semany," Santos and Padilla were stunned by the news and promised to investigate the matter. The inner and secret investigations showed - not surprisingly - that the soldier lied and death squads do not exist.

Zuleta, however, claims that the minister knew about the killings Santos even earlier: in 2006 - two and a half years prior to the disclosure of Soacha cases killed - and did nothing to stop the criminal dealings. Santos was to tell visitors Colombia representative of one of the gravest human rights organizations from the U.S., which reached a vanishing signal males of shantytowns. At the same time, also expressed concern about the disappearance of publicly UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.Colombian Government has ignored all these alarms.

A year ago, President Alvaro Uribe ended his two-term rule.Colombia is now the president of his former Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos.

9th

Raul Carvajal, 63-year-old vegetable seller from the north, the remains of his son brought a truck at Bolivar square in Bogota, where buildings adjoin the presidential palace, the Congress and the courts. Actually went on a pilgrimage through the country, over a thousand kilometers, stopping along the way in the towns and villages, distributing leaflets, which demanded to clarify the circumstances of her son's death and punishment for the killers.

Son, also Raul Carvajal, 29, was the army sergeant.October 8, 2006, the call upset with the news that it intends to abandon the military commander for forcing him to participate in the murder of two boys, alleged guerrillas.Several hours later, Raul Carvajal was killed - according to the official version of the army in a battle with the FARC.The investigation showed that in the documents the Army has no trace of such a battle.

- Do not forgive them, I ask to explain how my son was killed until I die alone. There is nothing more important to me in my life, let him kill me. Enough silence, enough impunity! - spits out with impotent despair, Raul Carvajal, in the second week of protest in the square Bolivar.

Sometimes, one stops and talks to Mr. Carvajal. Tourists look at how to freak - he hung with plaques with information about her son. Most passes indifferently.
