Paramilitary leader freed from jail after completing 8 year sentence
Posted by Rose Lander on Sep 18, 2015
A former AUC paramilitary commander was released from jail after serving eight years for his part in several massacres in northern Colombia.
Uber Banquez Martinez, known as “Juancho Dique,” was a commander of the Heroes de los Montes de Maria bloc of the AUC, or the United Self Defense Forces of Colombia which was demobilized in 2006.
The demobilization of the AUC was achieved under the presidency of Alvaro Uribe. As part of the process, the law of Justice and Peace was created to provide legal benefits for members of the AUC in exchange for their cooperation. These included a maximum prison sentence of eight years.
A Justice and Peace judge charged Juancho Dique with aggravated homicide and forced displacement for the massacre which took place on October 14, 2000 in the town of El Carmen in the Bolivar department.
