Their selection reflected economic vulnerability and historical discrimination against campesinos, Indigenous, and Afro-Colombian populations,\u201d Ochoa said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crimes, known in Colombia as \u201cfalse positives,\u201d consisted of civilians lured under false pretenses, killed, and then presented as guerrillas killed in combat to inflate military success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers often received rewards such as promotions, medals, or vacation time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sanctions-focus-on-restorative-work\"><strong>Sanctions focus on restorative work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of prison, the 12 defendants must carry out six restorative projects, including the construction and maintenance of memorials and cultural centers, support for infrastructure, and the rehabilitation of productive spaces, particularly in Indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese crimes were not isolated acts or the result of individual misconduct, but part of a systematic and widespread practice designed to generate operational reports and cover up international crimes,\u201d Ochoa emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case, known as the Caribbean Coast Subcase, falls under JEP\u2019s \u201cMacrocase 03,\u201d which in 2021 identified at least 6,402 people killed and falsely reported as combat deaths nationwide between 2002 and 2008. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tribunal-warns-against-historical-denial\"><strong>Tribunal warns against historical denial<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JEP President Alejandro Ramelli underscored the broader impact of the ruling, declaring: \u201cNo Colombian should have died as the result of a criminal network designed to select, kill, and disappear innocent people for the sole purpose of turning them into cold, manipulated statistics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ramelli said the tribunal has \u201cliterally unearthed the truth from Colombia\u2019s cemeteries\u201d and stressed that the convicted soldiers \u201chad to face justice, confront victims, and reveal horrors that even their own families did not know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the second ruling applying restorative justice in Colombia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this week, the JEP sentenced former FARC commanders, including ex-leader Rodrigo Londo\u00f1o, to alternative eight-year sanctions.
