Former FARC guerrilla murdered in Bogotà

Since the signature of the Final Peace Agreement in Havana, on 24 November 2016, 188 former guerrillas have been murdered, 15 only in the first three months of 2020.

Former FARC guerrilla Astrid Conde "Nancy" was murdered in Bogotà in the neighborhood of Kennedy Tintal. 

Conde was part of the women group Defense & Rights. She was undergoing the reincorporation program dedicated to those former guerrillas who have signed the Final Peace Agreement (or Havana Agreement) reached between the FARC and the Colombian Government. 

Conde had been released from prison thanks to the Havana agreement, which she signed and was working to ensure its implementation.

The FARC party denounced the "extermination" of the signatories of the peace agreement agreed in Havana: "We denounce before Colombia and the world the extermination being carried out against us, in fron of the eyes of an indolent government, accompanied by a hate campaign and stigmatization."

FARC Senator Victoria Sandino said: "The government doesn't care about the life of social leaders, human rights defenders or former guerrillas who signed the peace agreement."

FARC deputy Sandra Ramírez added: "This is the first murder of a former guerrilla to take place in Bogotá. Only a sick society could tolerate without a blink this extermination. The government with its silence and lack of guarantees for those who are working for peace ends up legitimising these murders."
