Report on San Jose Massacre by Colombia Support Network
The Colombia Support Network (CSN) is pleased to be able to release the results of an investigation carried out by a fact-finding CSN delegation from San Jose de Apartado's sister community of Dane County (Madison) Wisconsin. The delegation investigated the massacre of February 21, 2005, in which Peace Community leader Luis Eduardo Guerra and 7 other persons were murdered. The following is the link to the report of the delegation in our web site: http://colombiasupport.net/2005/6_26_RPT/san_jose_investigation.htm The evidence collected clearly identified the Colombian Army as responsible for the massacre, acting in collaboration with illegal paramilitary forces of the AUC. The Uribe Administration has just pushed through the Colombian Congress a measure giving effective immunity to these paramilitary forces which are to be "reinserted" into civilian society. Write your Senators and Congressional Representative today to tell them to vote against further aid to the Colombian military unless and until the Uribe Administration punishes Colombian officers responsible for human rights abuses and ends its support for drug-trafficking paramilitaries, whose illegal activities place more drugs on the streets of U.S. cities. Please check the Action Center in our web to contact your Senators and Representatives in Congress <http://www.colombiasupport.net/actioncenter.html>. |
