WHEN: Thursday 9 November, 6pm
WHERE: Thompsons Solicitors, 10 Chapel Walks (8th Floor), Manchester M2 1HL
Beer, wine, soft drinks and nibbles provided
Between 2002 and 2008, the Colombian army murdered 6,402 civilians to present them as guerrillas killed in combat, yet few officials have been held to account. What hopes are there for justice and peace under the progressive government of Gustavo Petro? We are joined by relatives of two victims to hear about their quest for justice and the ongoing struggle for peace and human rights in a society scarred by violence.
