I\u2019ll be explaining the ruling in this week\u2019s Colombia Briefing along with this week\u2019s other headlines.   To mark this historic ruling, this week\u2019s episode will be an extended and updated audio version of Emily Hart's investigation into those war crimes and the families still seeking justice \u2013 an article first published in DG Magazine - read by the author herself.   During Colombia\u2019s civil conflict, the army murdered thousands of civilians - framing them as guerrillas and criminals to boost statistics. In exchange for \u2018combat kills,\u2019 soldiers received cash, holidays, and promotions. The official number is 6,402 \u2013 though many estimate that the real number is closer to 10,000.   ","author_name":"Colombia Calling - The English Voice in Colombia","author_url":"https:\/\/colombiacalling.co\/","html":"
