Interview with Almudena Bernabeu

We did another interview with a lawyer who lives in San Francisco, but travels the world doing human rights work.

In today's interview, she mentioned how some of the paramilitary in Colombia view their killing as a game. She said that the Military will often collect villagers into a central location, and then the paramilitary comes in and murders the village. What is destroyed in a few hours can take years to mend.

She went on to mention that the gov't of Colombia has had to Reconciliation and Justice tribunals, but that in 2008, during the middle of testimony, 13 of 18 perpetrators were extradited to the US, effectively stopping their confessions.

This is such a sad comment on Columbia. Especially after the recent years of "cleaning up" government corruption. As a Columbian living in the US, I hope things improve.
