Mass Graves and Alleged Extrajudicial Executions in the Macarena, Colombia http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kelly-nicholls/mass-graves-and-alleged-e_b_660158.html
U.S. government must fully implement the Leahy Law, which requires suspending assistance to brigades for which there is credible evidence of extrajudicial executions committed by its members - as appears to be the case for many brigades operating in the Macarena and the surrounding region - until and unless those killings are fully investigated and the civilian justice system reaches a judgment. Furthermore, the USG should strongly encourage Colombian President-elect Juan Manuel Santos, to ensure the protection of human rights is a central focus of his security policy.
