That is shocking testimony. Thank you for bringing it forward.
I want to continue with the many studies.
In talking about torture in Colombia, the Colombian Commission of Jurists--and this just came out a couple of weeks ago, but Isabelle Heyer, a member of this jurist commission said:
Sexual violence against women and girls is one of the most pervasive modes of torture...an habitual, systematic and invisible practice, which enjoys impunity in the majority of cases and whose principal perpetrators are soldiers and police.
Would you agree that soldiers and police are part of the Colombian government, that they are essentially subject to governance by the Colombian government?
