El origen del horror de los falsos positivos

In September 2008, the mothers of Soacha reported that their missing sons were presented as guerrillas killed in combat with the Army hundreds of kilometers from their homes in the department of Norte de Santander, uncovering a judicial scandal known as "false positives," a globally unprecedented phenomenon that exploded in Colombia under the government of Álvaro Uribe Vélez (2002-2010) as part of his "democratic security" policy. These women suffer the fatal consequences of living in a country at war.
