The Fellowship of Reconciliation, a US-based group that supports civil peace initiatives in Colombia, reports that its Bogotá offices were burglarized June 2. "According to people who live in the same building, unknown persons forcibly entered the FOR house/office in Bogotá between 6-7 p.m., breaking the lock and part of the door. The individuals stole FOR’s two central computers that contain the organization’s records, including information on the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó. This community has been the target of attacks by armed groups and is covered by protective measures issued by the Inter-American Court for Human Rights."
FOR and 40 other groups recently issued a statement calling for an end to all US military aid to Colombia.

The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.
