Palin meets her first world leader: Right-Wing Leader Alvaro Uribe

[Joanne98]

Interesting juxtaposition of stories. I read tonight in Colombia Reports this note: “Palin meets her first world leader Uribe. Sarah Palin admitted Colombian president Alvaro Uribe to a very small circle Tuesday: those who have met and talked freely with the first-term Alaska governor since she became the Republican vice presidential candidate.”

The following article appeared below that announcement:

Colombian State increasingly involved in human rights violations.


One of the Disappeared

A coalition of NGOs released a report Monday condemning a rising state role in violence and ongoing paramilitary activity in Colombia during the presidency of Álvaro Uribe, a release timed to coincide with the head of state’s meeting with the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The wide-ranging and highly critical report, which will be sent to the U.N. Council on Human Rights in December, reports paramilitaries have continued to operate since the demobilization, state forces are responsible for nearly three-quarters of reported violence, including extrajudicial executions and torture, and government-paramilitary links persist, reported French press agency AFP.

13,634 killed during Uribe’s terms At least 13,634 people were killed in Colombia between 2002 and 2007, and a total 23,000 if armed conflict is included, charges the report, a product of 1000 NGOs including the Alliance of Social Organizations, the Assembly of Civil Society for Peace and the Colombian Platform for Human Rights. . .the report notes that the state was responsible directly or indirectly for 75 percent of the identified murder cases, reported Diario Jornada. Guerrillas were responsible for the other 24.5 percent, while press reports did not say what group made up the rest, nor how the breakdown had changed.
