First ruling against Army for San José Massacre - Attorney General not interested in top commander’s responsibility http://forpeace.net/blog/susana-pimiento-chamorro/first-ruling-against-army-san-josé-massacre-attorney-general-not-inter
Twenty months after Capitan Guillermo Gordillo pled guilty in the February 2005 massacre of eight people in the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó, a judge sentenced him to 20 years in prison (1). This is the first ruling against an army officer for the massacre.
Unfortunately, despite copious evidence linking higher ranking army officers, particularly Generals Mario Montoya and Héctor Fandiño, to the planning (Montoya) and the execution and cover-up (Fandiño), acting Colombian Attorney General Guillermo Mendoza seems determined not to advance investigations of their involvement.
