“I was 14 years old and they made me join the civil self-defence group. They forced me. If you didn’t want to, they took you for a guerrilla, so I had to agree. What’s more, you had to ask permission to travel outside the community. The soldiers give you a paper and stamp it when you leave. And if you don’t carry this with you, they capture you and torture you, murder you or make you disappear

“There has been a very arrogant attitude (on the part of the authorities), and many insults. Until recently they treated us like criminals. I’m frequently told that after 30 years we should forget, however, when things happen that one knows are deeply unfair, you cannot leave it alone, you cannot stop looking for answers”

“Il s'agit de la sixième amnistie prononcée depuis l'an dernier. Pourtant, des centaines de militants pacifiques, d'employés d'organisations humanitaires, d'avocats, de médecins et de journalistes vont de nouveau en être exclus, en partie - et c'est là que réside l'ironie de la situation - parce que bien souvent ils sont détenus pour de longues périodes sans être inculpés.”
