On 1 March marks the third anniversary of the bombing extraterritorial surgical ordered by former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, against a camp of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in the area of \u200b\u200bAngostura, Province of Sucumbios, Ecuador. As part of a vast psychological warfare operation enrolled in the Plan Colombia, the action left a toll of 25 dead, including Luis Edgar Devia (Raul Reyes), chief negotiator of the FARC, and four Mexican students: Soren Aviles, Fernando Franco, Juan Gonzalez and Veronica Velasquez. Three women survived the attack and the execution site of several people. One was the Mexican student Lucia Morett, who, wounded, was subjected to torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment by members of the armies of Colombia and Ecuador.
tactical Planned and supported logistically by the Pentagon's Southern Command, Operation Phoenix wanted to spread the Colombian internal conflict an area of \u200b\u200bgreat geopolitical importance in South America. Washington sought to involve Ecuador and Venezuela, but the presidents Rafael Correa and Hugo Chávez did not fall into the trap. In complementary fashion, in the midst of a campaign of saturation (dis) information media terrorism itself, the Colombian government criminalized Lucia Morett and the four others killed, making a matrix of opinion that assimilated to "international terrorists" under the silence Felipe Calderón accomplice, political and ideological partner of George W. Bush and Alvaro Uribe.
Since then, Lucía Morett lives in semi-clandestine because Ecuador and Colombia will remain two separate legal proceedings. The first for allegedly violating Ecuador's internal security. The second for alleged "criminal activity orchestrating terrorist and terrorist financing, resulting in the issuance of a" red notice "from Interpol, search and seizure.
However, in these three years, some facts tell who the real international terrorists. Let's see. On December 24, 2010, in Nueva Loja, province of Sucumbios, Judge Daniel Méndez Torres, the court first criminal securities Sucumbíos, validated the audience supporting and his report accusing the prosecution of Ecuador (tax instruction number 297-2010), for the crime against life, murder, against Freddy Padilla, former commanding general of the military forces of Colombia Oscar Naranjo, then director of the National Police of Colombia, and Gen. Mario Montoya ®, former commander of the Colombian army.
The three were identified by prosecutors as "People who directed, planned, coordinated and executed Operation Phoenix" in Angostura, physically attack and bombing perpetrated by helicopter transport Colombian troops, who told "with the consent" of then President Uribe , and the chain of command had to be approved by the Minister of Defense of the day, Juan Manuel Santos, whom prosecutors declined to charge by the immunity granted as current president of Colombia.
The instruction states that an act of war consisting of aerial bombing with cluster bombs and high-powered missiles, followed by the invasion of Ecuadorian territory by members of the police and the army of Colombia, is violated national sovereignty and principles of international law and humanitarian law, and caused the deaths of 25 people, including a citizen of Ecuador. Slogan also in the case the Ecuadorian Franklin Guillermo Aisalla Molina and other deaths, autopsies determine that they were executed out of court, a short distance (10 to 20 centimeters) and back to front (defenseless), and in one case were made " post-mortem shots. "
A murder charges by the prosecution against the Colombian military high command, joined the call for admissibility of Ecuador, for the Commission on Human Rights of the Organization of American States (OAS) to analyze the alleged extrajudicial execution of citizen William Franklin Aisalla by Ecuadorian law enforcement agents in Colombia it was accepted by the IACHR on October 21, 2010 (Report No. 112/10).
American Commission made a legalistic quibbles aside from Colombia and admitted the case was certified as the incursion of Colombian armed forces in Ecuadorian territory, and that during the (11) hours that remained alone in the camp Angostura Colombian officers were under his control to the survivors and the bodies of the deceased, so we can conclude that "Colombia exercised extraterritorial jurisdiction over the area subject to attack." During that time, when they had the obligation to respect the rights of persons subject to this control, Lucía Morett was subjected to harassment and sexual innuendo by Colombian soldiers and police and several prisoners were summarily executed, in flagrant violation of the right to life, personal integrity, judicial guarantees and judicial protection , all in connection with Article 1.1 of the Convention.
As if missing elements on the terrorist nature of the current Colombian regime, the prosecution itself of Colombia has just published in January this year a report documenting 173 000 183 murders, 597 thousand massacres, 467 34 000 forced disappearances and at least 990 74 000 forced displacement, crimes committed between June 2005 and December 31, 2010 under the alliance between drug traffickers, paramilitaries and government.

The Day March 21, 2011

The indictment of Colombia's military high command during the last term of Alvaro Uribe, including former defense minister and current president of the Republic Juan Manuel Santos, charged with murder in Ecuador Sucumbíos facts, coupled with the admission by the Human Rights Commission of the Organization of American States of the complaint filed by Ecuador against Colombia for the alleged extrajudicial execution of the Ecuadorian Franklin Aisalla come to ratify the terrorist nature of a regime which, as noted in our previous release, the Colombian prosecutor own display just as genocidal.
The importance of locating the regime of Álvaro Uribe in the category of state terrorism, a situation which continues today in the oligarchic government of Juan Manuel Santos is that, by criminalizing the manufacture Lucia Morett by political-judicial-media, she not only can live in freedom, but their physical integrity at risk and there is a risk that, if caught, be subjected to further torture. An elementary fact is that Lucia Morett, survived the Sucumbíos, is a key prosecution witness in a possible international criminal prosecution against Alvaro Uribe for crimes against humanity. Hence
acquire fundamental character revelations of Colombian prosecutors documented systematic violations of human rights-Santos Uribe regime. The use of the Colombian armed forces as an army occupation in their own country, in collusion with narco mega parapoliticians and contractors resulted in the forced displacement of 4.9 million people, there are the "false positive" as it is known the macabre strategy of killing civilians (homeless, drug addicts, mentally ill adolescents in slums) and then conceal their bodies and media presentations as "guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) killed in combat, and the emergence of a separate mass graves in the Meta, one in Macarena behind military battalion area, with 2000 bodies in 2009, and another in December with 505 thousand people NN. Furthermore, in the last three years there were 38 000 255 forced disappearances, a figure which is composed of detention, abduction, torture, murder and disappearance of the body and is classified as a state crime.
should be noted that despite being seriously injured in the bombing, after Lucia Morett was subjected to torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment by Colombian and Ecuadorian military, and facing criminal proceedings (including an extradition request Ecuador to Mexico) make it difficult to fully exercise their rights and their own representation.
In this context, and based on a set of evidence the attack on Sucumbíos (Recordings, photos, criminal investigations, forensic reports, testimonials of soldiers, autopsies, etc.), it is noteworthy that the case is essentially political.
is not "collateral damage" because the authorities in Colombia knew that the camp of Raul Reyes was of a "diplomatic" and there could be civil. Furthermore, the attack came without a formal declaration of War and prior justification. Was performed with aggravating intent, premeditation and advantage, and excessive use of force in a night action (when the victims were sleeping) with sophisticated equipment (cluster bombs designed to cause death or, where appropriate, the most damage, and not to the purpose of deterring or achieve a surrender), to which was added the murder of survivors, what one saw Lucia.
wounded and handcuffed, after being identified as a Mexican (the Colombian military kept their passport) without the assistance of a lawyer or consular staff was subjected to unlawful and extrajudicial interrogation by Ecuadorian officials, who, as demonstrated after , colluded with the attackers.
The interview came amid extraction without anesthesia on a sliver of 10 inches long by three wide, and when I was suffering post-traumatic stress result of the bombing. As evidenced by a military video, despite intimidation, coercion and threats Morett was "served" outside any ethical protocol, humanitarian or medical standards, and filmed naked, despite their protests. The military authorities who questioned him intentionally caused pain and suffering in order to obtain information and confessions that implicate.
On this basis, Uribe and Santos built the legend of Lucia and his four Mexicans killed were "contacts" of the FARC and received "training" in the camp, which was denied by a cable from the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, dated March 28, 2008 and filtered by Wikileaks to La Jornada, which records that were there "to visit."
A Colombian romancing joined the president of the National Court of Justice in Ecuador, Joseph Troy, who, with inexplicable persecutory intent Mexico insists on the extradition request of Lucia Morett, on charges that he committed a crime against the security within the State, under Article 147 of the Penal Code. His only argument is that he was in a "military camp of irregular groups." But you can not prove that the FARC and Lucia looking to subvert the public order, or replace or attack the forces of Ecuador. His presence there proves nothing and does not constitute any crime, much less against the Ecuadorian State. Thus Mexico must declare inadmissible the request for extradition and claim the punishment of persons guilty of murder in cold blood of four Mexican intellectuals in full training.
