The bodies "NN", have been buried without identification, the Army, whose forces are deployed elite nearby. Deposited behind the cemetery dies 2,000 bodies with the order they were buried without a name.

He will follow up all complaints filed with the audience, from the Peace Commission the Senate under the responsibility of the Senator Gloria Inés Ramírez .

More than a thousand graves in the country

The horror of La Macarena has focused attention on the existence of over a thousand graves with unidentified bodies in Colombia. Until late last year, examiners had counted some 2,500 corpses, which had been identified about 600 and deliver the bodies to their families.

The location of these underground cemeteries has been possible thanks to the statements on free version of the middle of supposedly demobilized paramilitaries and welcomed the controversial Justice and Peace Law that guarantees a symbolic sentence in exchange for confession their crimes.

These statements, that of John Jairo Renteria , alias Bitumen, who revealed to the prosecutor and the relatives of victims he and his followers buried "at least 800 people " on the farm Villa Sandra in Puerto Asis, Putumayo region . "We had to dismember people. All in the AUC had to learn it and often took people to live" , paramilitary leader has confessed to the prosecutor.

Alfredo Molano, one of the influential columnists Colombia, has toured the country as a chronicler of violence, which earned him exile to escape threats of military and paramilitary.

- What is the status of the graves in Colombia?
itself Attorney General's Office speaks of 25,000 "disappeared", that somewhere must be. There are huge underground cemeteries in Colombia. Some people deleted. You may also have done away with many remains as in the Nazi crematoria.

- Do these graves have to do with the so-called 'false positives?
Yes, all this may be related with "false positives" [Colombian civilians killed to that described itself as "killed in action".] The army buried underground. Many of them will be found in these mass graves .

Gigantic mass grave in La Macarena
By: Carlos A. Lozano Guillén (*)

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!

Mexico State:

THE ROOT OF ORGANIZED CRIME
For Marco Rascon (*)


The crime is not organized by himself, was already organized. Its structure comes from the police and security forces of the Mexican state. That is why war is bloody and extends to all levels of government and society.

Over the past 30 years, under the cloak of corruption, impunity, the application discretionary policy and justice, police turned to each and every public safety agency in a criminal in office. A will or not, every Mexican police, every ministry official, to survive as such, has to violate the law and abide by the codes of the special privileges granted by the power . Segregating

police in society and use under a philosophy of political and social repression led to corruption. The political class for decades, and clearly after 1968 and 1971, corruption found in the vein of gold and stocked up on it. We used the law, rules, regulations, for extortion and it was structural.

In the basement and separate from the Secret Service, the Federal Security Directorate (DFS) of the White Brigade, Research Directorate for the Prevention of Crime (DIPD) Radio Battalion State Patrol Mexico (Barapem) of the judicial police and rural states, the secretariats of public safety, procurement, Government, ministries, directions in prisons, were born and Research Center for National Security (CISEN), the Federal Investigation (AFI), the Specialized Unit against Organized Crime (UEDO) and SIEDO later, prosecutors FEADS and specialized as the Federal Preventive Police (PFP) to reach the structure of the Mexican Army used as police.

The last 30 years the PRI regime incubated the egg of the snake and the participants in the dirty war, systematically using torture, abduction and disappearance, trained and prepared hundreds of police on crime and enriched. The way of charging for their services regime is impunity, which transforms them into partners and protectors of drug dealers, robbers and car hijackers. From Arturo Durazo, to Daniel Arizmendi, The Mochaorejas, hundreds of police are part of both sides. Over time, the police, they realize that the repression of dissidents, labor activists, students, urban or communist movements, gives stability to the regime, but it is not business.

Thanks to the impunity and lack of subversion made to suppress, the machinery is oiled with the kidnapping and extortion of small and large firms. The insecurity created by gangs of police and former police officers, was business.

already for 1990, the kidnapping industry polluted the entire federal judiciary from what, in states and municipalities. Buying patrols, weapons, communications equipment were gains of their own terror, prosecutors, attorneys and governors work as part of organized crime. The reforms of the 90's just gave more power and impunity of the corrupt cops and without control. The legalization of wiretapping, permission to prospect and so-called protected witness, shortly, were instrumental in the dispute over the return of the crime. The new police hunted the above, the spiral of vengeance was infinite and that in this war there is no front, rear and confidence: in that war, the police are not an army against another, but a struggle between themselves and their creatures adult.

kidnappings When approached the circles of power and pressure were influential victims, there were more than 2 000 bands of kidnappers in the country connected to or arising from the police. A first reaction was to clean on the remote military and marine and police chiefs. Soon, all were contaminated.

The arrival of the rotation and dislocation caused by state police impunity paid in the growth of crime. To complement, since the middle of the 90 United States stopped paying in dollars and began to pay with drugs, and Mexico went of being a transit country to one consumer. Came the great business of drug dealing and the shops in the neighborhoods, bars, schools, reaching all sectors of society. The new business, encouraged by the budget war, gangs and territories.

The refusal from the old PRI regime to wean the judiciary and the separation during the war grew PAN inside and outside the police, paramilitary and creating mass executions. Today no strategy to use force against the phenomenon reveals the decomposition of the Mexican state at all levels and institutions. Hence the public perception is also dangerous to the security forces and criminals, they have the same root.

Amnesty International Report 2007 (Summary)
trade unionism in Colombia. Killings, arbitrary detentions and death threats
the past two decades, Colombia have died of murder more than 2,000 trade and have been subjected to enforced disappearance over 138. In more than 90 percent of cases, those responsible have not been brought to justice. Although in recent years has reduced the number of killings of trade unionists, Amnesty International believes that human rights crisis faced by people who develop trade union activities is still serious. The Colombian authorities have taken some steps to improve security, however, must take more decisive action to ensure that it respects the right to freedom of association in law and in practice.

Despite the supposed demobilization of army-backed paramilitaries, apparently demobilized paramilitaries continue to kill and threaten trade unionists. Security forces have also been directly responsible for killings of trade unionists, as well as arbitrary instigate criminal proceedings against trade unionists. Amnesty International considers that it is applying a coordinated military-paramilitary strategy, which aims to undermine the work of these people, both through their physical elimination, as trying to discredit the legitimacy of trade union activities. The guerrillas have also been responsible for killings of trade unionists. Amnesty International

considers that the international community has an important role to play in efforts to ensure the right to freedom of association in Colombia . The fact that the International Labour Organization (ILO) decided in 2006 to establish a permanent presence in Colombia to keep tabs on the right to freedom of association is an excellent opportunity for the international community to closely monitor the crisis human rights faced by those engaged in union and ask the Colombian authorities to take decisive action to ensure their safety.


Hungry no democracy
Novoa Alejandro Angulo, S. J . (*) .

thoughtfully lets me listen to colleagues who expect not only more green vote but fewer votes of Uribe in the presidential elections of May 30, 2010.

perhaps believed in the polls, in which I also think, perhaps without realizing that this time it was an anomaly. It seems they forgot the popularity ratings of President-candidate. And forget that from words to action is a long way and more paramilitary in the ceiling. No social scientist who knows anything about Colombia may believe that the national samples of voting intentions to reach an outcome favorable to the ethics of legitimacy against the usual secular moral and physical cutoff. There was something that we still must explain the statistical and commonly be called "the problem of the samples," not to end up asking, as some people of "establishment", the more control the polling firms (that something is repressed).

Although interest me samples, I'm interested more reality. And that is portrayed to perfection in the figures. The country voted, that is, less than half of those entitled to vote, Uribe is 47%, ie, patronage and fervent supporter of the shortcut. This, of course, in all social strata and in all areas of daily lives. This does not mean that the other half is not, just do not know from these data. Instead, he verified that the belief in legality is a rare phenomenon: only just over 3 million who voted for Mockus, or, that is, less than a fifth of those who voted believe that the levers, bribery, extortion, threats, undue appropriation of the alien, tax evasion, perjury, fraud, coercion and even murder, are crimes. If anything is simple 'Peccadilloes' attesting to "ready" and the difference of "idiots."

However, not everything is a cultural problem. As these elections were a result not desired by the government of the day, it had been prepared for eight long years of his regime for this eventuality. An example: in a place of Cundinamarca whose name I remember, a gentleman who handle Uribe of Families in Action Families enrolled warned his Rangers that Sunday's vote would be made unanimously by JM Santos, if they wanted to usufruct why incisor columnist called "institutionalized begging." With only one who disobeyed the slogan inscribed Santos suffice for all families get out of the action and the Rangers out of their forests.

This type of 'political gimmicks' is the nerve of Colombian politics since 1810. And this device is called the control of hunger and was discovered since antiquity, when it was called slavery, but is still used today and is called humanitarian assistance. In both cases was and is a substitute for a living wage and in both cases was and is the contentillo who throws to the dispossessed by the war to not starve, but have no strength to protest.

ethics and legality are intangibles and desirable. Malnutrition, homelessness and the impossibility of getting a job are tangible and insupportable evils. Avoiding that evil is a necessity unbearable precedence over the desire of righteousness. Here is the secret of power. Any United Nations report, or, without going any further, the DANE, shows that levels are maintained in such evils in our country, affecting large portions of the Colombian population: 7 million informal workers are all people capital district, of which most have no more than disguised unemployment. Similarly, 3 million unemployed, are almost the entire population of Medellin in the terrible situation of moonlighting, in which anything goes, because it is desperate situations.

Political analysts should look beyond the electoral percentages of dyes policies, to understand that democracy is incompatible with hunger. The elections of hungry people, and Colombia is one of them, are not an indicator of democracy (the people, by the people and for the people.) On the contrary, these political rituals among us only reveal the true dimensions of the plutocracy (eaters), aristocracy (The rulers) and 'indiosincracia' (those not counted.) This last step of the citizenship of the paper is the depth explanation of the abstention, if I do not count, I'm not going to count. It's a natural reaction, albeit short-sighted. In the Colombian case is not only myopic, it is also disappointing, as confirmed by the fact that when we glimpse a different way to approach politics, proven or not, believers are three million forty-five, seven out of every hundred. A catastrophe for the pessimists and the optimists hope. In any case, the greenway is entitled to many years of trial and error to win an election, as they have had the patronage to set up your business.
