Colombian Tribunal Sentences Five Retired Soldiers for Civilian Killings
A Colombian peace tribunal sentenced five retired army members to up to 6½ years of reparations work for their role in the killing and disappearance of 35 civilians between 2002 and 2006, part of the 'false positives' scandal. The soldiers admitted responsibility and provided information leading to the recovery of 77 bodies. Reparations include infrastructure projects and humanitarian efforts. The Special Jurisdiction for Peace investigates such crimes from Colombia's internal conflict, which caused over 450,000 deaths and millions displaced.
