Son of former FARC guerrilla killed in Colombia

So far, 199 people related to the peace process have been killed in the country, along with 41 of its relatives.

Nineteen years-old Jhon Carlos Montaño, son of a former FARC-EP guerrilla, was killed in a rural area of the Colombian Department of Huila, the People's Alternative Revolutionary Force (FARC) party denounced late on Monday night.

Jhon Carlos was the son of Jose Montaño, a Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC-EP) former guerrilla who had already survived an attack on his life.

Last Saturday, in the same Department but Campoalegre municipality, another former member of the FARC-EP was murdered.

In a statement the FARC party said: "It is the responsibility of the Colombian State, the national government and its institutions, to implement measures to protect the life, security, and personal integrity of the entire collective in the process of reincorporation, as well as their families, communities and social leaders."

So far, 199 people related to the peace process have been killed in the country, along with 41 of its relatives.

In the statement, the FARC party also demanded the United Nations Verification Mission (UNVM), to guarantor nations, regulatory agencies, and the civic movement to reject these actions and join the efforts to reach peace and to put pressure on the national government to comply with the agreements.

The killings occur in a moment in were Colombia is close to reaching a thousand people dead by COVID-19. There are so far 30,493 positive cases detected.
