Colombias transitional justice system set up by communist sympathizers, Uribe tells US Congress
Colombia’s transitional justice system set up by communist sympathizers, Uribe tells US Congress
written by Adriaan Alsema April 16, 2017
Former President Alvaro Uribe published a message to US congress on Twitter Sunday, warning Colombia’s peace process could ultimately convert his country in a tyrannical communist regime.
The message — which contains numerous false claims — seems to be the latest attempt of the hard-right former president to discredit the peace process that seeks an end to 52 years of armed conflict.
. . .
Uribe could face criminal investigations by a transitional justice tribunal over numerous major human rights violations that took place under his watch, in some cases by extreme-right paramilitary groups.

Dozens of former congressmen, mainly ideological allies of the controversial politician, are in prison for teaming up with the death squads to advance their political agenda.
