Colombian President Demands Identification of Bodies Found on Beaches

Colombian President Gustavo Petro demanded that the Attorney General's Office advance in the identification of bodies found on Colombian Caribbean beaches, which could correspond to victims of bombings carried out by the United States against boats allegedly loaded with cocaine. "Our sea and our people are wounded, and blood flows on the beaches," Petro stated. He called it "inhuman" that the Attorney's Office has gone a month without conducting the identification, while indigenous WayĂșu communities had already buried the remains. The president demanded that the Technical Investigation Body (CTI) of the Attorney's Office advance without delay. Petro has questioned these attacks, considering them extrajudicial executions and a violation of international law and regional sovereignty. "No more blood in the Caribbean. These are murders."
