Colombia: New Questions Emerge on Palace of Justice Case
- 9 years ago
More questions emerge as Colombia remembers State murders and disappearances at the Palace of Justice 30 years ago. President Juan Manuel Santos is expected to make a public apology on behalf of the Colombian state, but a number of critics are demanding answers on a cover-up of the crimes. In 1985, the M-19 guerrillas took over the Palace, demanding the release of several government documents. Colombia’s armed forces killed almost 100 people in a military recovery operation. Recent investigations have shown that the State deliberately targeted civilians to frame the guerrillas. teleSUR
