Colombian Woman Denounces US Violations

Bogota - Melgar, in the Colombian department of Tolima, has become today a nightmare for its dwellers since the arrival of US soldiers to that zone, the mother of a victim of abuses by those officers stated.

Olga Lucia Castillo told on a phone call with Venezuelan newspaper Panorama of the sufferings of his daughter Jessika Beltran, 12, violated by Sergeant Michael Cohen and contractor Cesar Ruiz.

"The night of those events, two US officers of the "Colombia Plan" intercepted her and obliged to take a soft drink and a glass of liquor," Lucia said.

She explained that despite efforts done in these two years, she has not achieved to do justice. US soldiers have immunity in the Colombian territory.

The Colombian mother stated that she denounced those guilty at the Technical Investigation Corps (CTI), but only received intimidations to lift the demand.
