Guinness Record of "democratic security"
* A macabre story in La Macarena (Meta), in times of war Uribe and the increasing violation of human rights in Colombia
The delegation of trade unionists and British MPs who visited Colombia in December last year, organized by Justice for Colombia in London, was shocked when in La Macarena, accompanied by Jairo Ramirez, Executive Secretary of the Permanent Committee for the Defense Human Rights, was taken by farmers and families of victims to a cemetery "ene enes" in which are buried more than 2,000 people missing and murdered since 2004, as stipulated by wooden boards white. "It's the biggest mass grave that information is received in the last time," said one of the Britons, astonished and dismayed. In Europe, a member of the delegation, not to mention the horrible spectacle, said since the Second World War, during the holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis, there was no news of same or similar thing.
In London, the return of Colombia, which confirmed the violation of human rights and the enormous responsibility in her government, the British delegation to a strong statement warned of the horrible Holocaust. The mass graves behind the cemetery of La Macarena, almost clandestine, and no national authority or municipal department, recognized over the past five years, his grim existence and plight of thousands of families in silence, require them respond on their missing relatives.
The withdrawal of the British was replicated by several NGOs in the world, but in Colombia, as usual, not revealed, except for the publication of the statement issued by the delegation on web pages and in this weekly. Government and military sources responded challenging, as they do, discrediting the report of the British delegation, because "it is ideological and biased" and of being manipulated by Justice for Colombia, an organization that has been designated for "pandering to the terrorists" , spied on and besieged in his frequent trips to the country by the DAS and other state intelligence agencies.

The absurd official explanation
But peacefully, the Ministry of Defence said the mass graves are the remains of victims of the guerrillas, in the demilitarized zone Caguan. Explanation easily refuted, because in the tombs, as noted above, there are signs where they appear in wood dates from 2004 when there was no demilitarized zone and the region was occupied by Omega Force, which anticipates the Patriot Plan counterinsurgency. Although the commander of the military base in La Macarena said, when asked by the British, "they are guerrillas killed in combat by the Army," version not credible, because "people of the region spoke of many leaders social, rural and community advocates who disappeared without trace, "said Jairo Ramirez.
According to the statement of one of the gravediggers in La Macarena, "the bodies are brought in army helicopters and left in the cemetery, we have no choice but to bury them in pits as NN."
Lose all sense of wonder with this picture shocking when it was believed that in Colombia had reached the limits of horror with the confession of the paramilitary in the hearings of Justice and Peace, which recognize the existence of mass graves hundreds of corpses of their victims. "This and is the top, is a kind of macabre Guinnes record, "he told the weekly the spokesman for a Colombian humanitarian NGOs.
The existence of the huge mass grave in La Macarena, which has not addressed the media, dedicated to cultivating the expectation and the guessing game about what will happen to the reelection referendum, and the stupid campaign against Chávez and the Bolivarian Revolution, again following the story of Human Rights Watch report, released last week and rose thorns in the Colombian government as usual. Also for the visit of a parliamentary delegation of the English State, which was in the past days in Colombia and recognized the gravity of the situation of human rights.
According to judicial sources have said and the control agencies after March will begin an inquiry into these mass graves in La Macarena. Although in fact the entire country is full of graves of the barbarity of the paramilitaries, dedicated to disappear and kill peasants and popular leaders, accused of collaborating with the guerrillas. Colombia is part of the Holocaust still unclear and no end, perpetrated by an irregular force state-sponsored and supported by political and business leaders "Parapoliticians, yet still defend the actions of these groups, because "it was a reaction to the crimes of the guerrillas," according to the official at the time of "democratic security." In the words of Colonel Plazas of the slaughter of the courthouse, they are defending democracy, maestro!
