Forum: Case Analysis and Relationship Mexico-Colombia Sucumbíos
The slaughter perpetrated by the Colombian Army on March 2008 on a camp peace in international relations of the FARC-EP in the sector of Angostura or Santa Parish Ceiba Elena, Putumayo Canton province of Sucumbios in the Republic of Ecuador, is a clear example of a crime against humanity, where they took the lives of 25 people, including four Mexican students and an Ecuadorian civil were visiting.
In the 25th minute of the first day of March, beginning the first bombing of the camp, in a second attack was like at three in the morning, a total of ten fell on the camp bombs of 250 kg. each in an area of \u200b\u200b600 square meters, the bombing was military precision despite the darkness of the night and the dense vegetation of the Amazon, the expansive force of each uno de los mortíferos artefactos de muerte, alcanzo un radio de 750 metros a la redonda; su estallido provocó cráteres de 2.40 metros de diámetro por 1.80 metros de profundidad.
Despues de los bombardeos las tropas colombianas fuertemente armadas en helicópteros ametrallaron el campamento antes de ocuparlo por tierra, acto seguido remataron algunos heridos con tiros en la espalda, el ciudadano ecuatoriano a pesar de estar lesionado de bala fue muerto por golpes en la cabeza. Solo sobrevivieron una estudiante mexicana y dos jóvenes colombianas, la mexicana resulto herida, amenazada y vejada por la tropa invasora.
Cuando decimos que fue un claro crimen de lesa humanidad, es porque we have evidence of an action that was carried out with premeditation and advantage, that people were sleeping camp, there was no attempt to capture or surrender request despite the numerical superiority of the attackers, as well as weaponry and intelligence, although it failed to respect civilian lives and invaded a neighboring country breaking a treaty with Ecuador to secure the border together. Colombian President lied when he said he had been an act of war by mistake or by the fighting had crossed the border.
course there are elements that do not know until now that only known murderers, for example the Ministry of Defense of Colombia said that the Phoenix operation named for them, was performed with 5 Supertucanos Brazilian-made aircraft, but the technical report of the Air Force Colombia Ecuador denies this claim based on the fragments ( fins) of the bombs found in that camp that are not compatible with Supertucanos platforms, which suggests that the perpetrator or perpetrators were U.S. planes, which left or departed from a base that still do not know, what if left the base in Manta, Ecuador, or was the Tres Esquinas base in Colombia.?
However, the elements that we would be more than enough to bring a respectable court responsible for such slaughter to be tried as criminals, but despite this nearly three years after the crime is the most Sucumbíos complete impunity.
What happened? for us as parents and relatives of the five Mexican students who were in the guerrilla camp Sucumbíos, we presume that was a fact which involved four countries: Ecuador scene, Colombia because the Colombian military carried out the slaughter, United States the support it has provided the Colombian government and presumably involved directly in the operation Phoenix, Mexico, country of origin of four civilians were killed and more wounded. It has been a slaughter, a crime with an international profile that is pursued by global trade laws or laws of all countries, but in this case we have a murderer or murderers of State with a character and not just individuals.
abalada
The impunity was from the outset by the government of President GW Bush of the United States not only because the murder weapon is American-made, but in public statements the ruler of the United States passed, congratulations, and was glad Colombia's action, that is certified Sucumbios slaughter.
Therefore, the impunity has established itself as the pinnacle of a pyramid which has been the power of the north who influenced other countries not to implement the laws that condemn the crimes, the power of U.S. imperialism reached in countries involved, an example of this was as the OAS (Organization of American States) intervened but failed to act. There was no condemnation to the Colombian State. The rationale was to combat terrorism and drug trafficking.
The Republic of Ecuador is the most authoritative to implement the Act for the slaughter of Sucumbíos according to experts in law and your particular defend the case of the Ecuadorian citizen Franklin Guillermo Aizalia, but the Attorney General of Ecuador has surfed the imprecision in the delay getting to the ambiguity. A judge sued a victim Sucumbíos Mexican Lucia Morett, as case alleging that on two occasions rejected the Mexican government for lacking a solid legal foundation. The confusion was created when many people thought that the government of President Rafael Correa had made the demand after the explanation was given when I clarify that in Ecuador there is the division of powers and President Correa had been foreign demand. However, the inaccuracies and government failures Ecuador as a whole showed when he released the document in a "Truth Commission" on the bombing in Sucumbios, where he ignored the young Mexicans killed, subsequently made a claim against the Minister of Defense of Colombia at the time Juan Manuel Santos Calderon, without this advance, while the case against Lucia Morett had come to Mexico for endangering the safety of the Ecuadorian State.
The December 24, 2010 in Nueva Loja province Sucumbíos the First Court of Criminal sued for the crime against life-Murder lords: Juan Manuel Santos Calderon Fredy Padilla Leon, Oscar Adolfo Naranjo Trujillo, Mario Montoya Uribe, Guillermo Barrera, Jorge Ballesteros and Ernesto Alvarez Camilo Ochoa. As follows: "The Penal Code considered as a circumstance constituting the breach that was used at night and other aggravating circumstances, as it is, gang, in the wilderness, with treachery and using means which caused severe damage to victims by virtue of being in absolute helplessness "
However, the Attorney General of the State of Ecuador" abstain from accusing JUAN MANUEL SANTOS CALDERON because in his capacity as President of the Republic of Colombia is vested with immunity and therefore is not imputable to the corresponding criminal action. Analyzing
document Ecuadorian commented:
Juan Manuel Santos Calderon is responsible for the slaughter of Sucumbíos since he was in charge of the Ministry of Defense of Colombia, in 2008, the demand was unfortunately in the period that there was no president. Ie the charge came too late.
But something more serious, is not mentioned on this list then President Álvaro Uribe Vélez that while being president at that time (2008) now has no such privilege or immunity, "was an oversight or omission deliberate First Court of the Province of Sucumbíos?
is also off the list Admiral David Rene Moreno, Chief of Joint Staff. According to information in Colombia the Admiral is "Chief of Staff who must coordinate and plan all you have to have each of the forces (Army, Navy, and Air Force), especially the joint commands. So recognize that success in democratic security policy due to the combined efforts of joint operations. The Joint Staff is working on the macro planning of major operations ... "
We can not ignore that the interrogation court she was subjected to the surviving Mexican Lucia Morett by Ecuadorian military on March 2, 2008 in Lago Agrio is no investigation because it has been a violation of their rights, because without considering their physical wounds and trauma of having lived through the bombardment the questioning was more like a torture to force them to confess their alleged crimes, like a criminal.
For all this we conclude that the application of justice in Ecuador for the case of Sucumbíos this weak and slow. Hopefully this situation is amended.
In the case of Mexico, from March 5, 2008 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have hidden information to parents of victims of Sucumbíos, and has not provided legal assistance and psychological and the Mexican government has refused to lodge a strong protest to the Colombian government for its responsibility in the killing of four Mexican citizens abroad. Has not given protection to the sole survivor to the extent that it has preferred to hide from the Colombian government harassment through the red tab called Interpol.
The media campaign against Mexican youths killed in Sucumbíos: Veronica Velazquez Ramirez, Juan González del Castillo, Fernando Franco Delgado, Soren Avilés Angeles and the only survivor Lucia Morett Alvarez has been headed by the same former Colombian president on his visits to Mexico, Alvaro Uribe Velez who told lies over and over again on the case of Sucumbíos, and the Mexican government has kept silent accomplice, and has also allowed the murderers come to our country and presented to the media to defame the five Mexican students, in addition to committing a flagrant violation of our sovereignty.
We concluded that the Mexican government of Felipe Calderón far from making a claim has increasingly strengthened its relationship with the Colombian government over a period of three years Felipe Calderón and Álvaro Uribe have interviewed about 10 times as much in Mexico and Colombia. For anyone who knows this well-informed that the Colombian military are advising the police and Mexican army in the project of militarization in Mexico that have gradually been making the cost of more than 30 000 lives of Mexicans.
Colombia
As we are aware that they jealously guard all the information about the Phoenix operation, knowing that there is proof of his felony and guilty of violations which try to hide all costs because it was a crime State.
The current Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos Calderon is by all means to convince international public opinion that is different from its predecessor, though we all know that he is primarily responsible for the misnomer of "false positives", that he is also responsible for the Phoenix operation.
of its efforts to change the image of a repressive state and murderer, has succeeded in restoring diplomatic relations with the governments of Venezuela and Ecuador, and has further strengthened the relations with the Mexican government has given the Attorney General's Office alleged autonomy as shown in the Colombia Supreme Court ordered a few days to 7 ½ to Mario Uribe former senator and cousin of former President Alvaro Uribe Velez for his relationship with right-wing paramilitaries. Which confirms the dirty history of former Colombian president that we have reported since 2008, based on the book by Sergio Camargo "No. 82 The Drug Trafficker Alvaro Uribe and Colombia's Alvaro Uribe Vélez video saints or devils among other sources.
Colombian State Impunity continues despite the serious crimes that were committed within and outside Colombia, power has corrupted the delivery of justice bodies worldwide, international tribunals are inadequate and limited share, resulting demand justice those who are in utter helplessness and abandonment.
How is it possible that Mr. former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe to come to Mexico for a meeting of businessmen in the city of Morelia as a simple and peaceful city as if nothing had happened and the complacency and the hospitality of the Mexican President .
Gradually the solidarity that has now been received in Mexico and other countries take an entire case file of Sucumbios for submission to international tribunals to seek justice, as soon Wikileaks leaked information from the U.S. embassy in Mexico of March 28, 2008 which reads: "baseless accusations that Lucia Morett and Mexican students killed on March 1, 2008 by the Colombian military in Ecuador Sucumbíos, were contacts of the FARC in Mexico or were trained by that guerrilla. Iban attend a Bolivarian Congress of Latin American leftist groups and wanted to visit the camp of the FARC in Sucumbíos. "
