Reflection: The False Positives are a genocide that left 6402 victims throughout Colombia for more than 20 years. That terrifying figure exceeds the number of victims of September 11, 2001 or th tsunami that affected Tailand in 2004. Unfortunately no one has taken this sad issue seriously as it should be taken, and people use it as the main argument of all the failures that the Colombian State is doing today, which makes no sense at all; and even the investigators in charge of tracking these thousands of victims decided to refuse to do so and give false statements such as that of the prosecution that said that the victims of false positives in Colombia reached 2,248, something that we all know is a cruel lie without a pinch of grace.
