The Colombian government has arrested more than 20 soldiers believed to have killed civilians in order to pass them off as as rebels or paramilitaries, the BBC reported.There are currently about 1,500 other cases under investigation.
President Uribe asserted, "Just as there are human rights violations, which should become known and punished, and we hope become a thing of the past...there are also plenty of false accusations. Just as we have to demand total transparency from our soldiers and police, we also have to demand total impartiality from the justice system."
