Colombia's war crimes tribunal discovers first major military mass grave

Colombia’s war crimes tribunal discovers first major military mass grave
by Adriaan Alsema December 15, 2019

Colombia’s war crimes tribunal has discovered a military mass grave in which more than 50 victims of extrajudicial executions could be buried, weekly Semana reported on Saturday.

The cemetery of Dabeiba, a village in the northwestern Antioquia province, was used by the Medellin-based 4th Brigade to bury murdered civilians who were falsely reported as combat kills, according to several soldiers.

Extraordinary security measures
The investigation of the controversial army unit is proceeding under extraordinary security measures as several witnesses have already received death threats or survived assassination attempts.

. . .

Colombia’s Big Lie
The discovery of the mass grave is a major step in the gradual debunking of the “false positives” reported when former President Alvaro Uribe was in office between 2002 and 2010.
