Demobilised Farc leaders avoid falling foul of JEP
Colombia’s transitional justice court (JEP) has announced that it has received official documentation from many of the 31 former leaders of the demobilised Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc) guerrillas who it had called to provide information related to kidnapping and enforced disappearance cases in which they have been implicated. Among those who have submitted documentation to the court are high-ranking former Farc leaders who have recently gone into hiding after complaining that the peace deal that the they signed with the government is not being respected. That these individuals have remained in contact with the JEP is an encouraging sign that they have not yet completely abandoned the peace process.
