Doris Tejada is still searching for her son after finding that he was a victim of what Colombians call the “false positives” scandal.' Military members are accused of killing innocent civilians and counting them as guerrillas or criminals to claim rewards.

Doris Tejada, mother of Oscar Alexander Morales who disappeared on New Year's eve 2007, holds a photo of her son, at a shop in Soacha, Colombia, Thursday, April 8, 2021.

Tejada and Morales later found out that their son indeed was on the list of the “false positives,” victims of extrajudicial executions by soldiers who claimed they were guerrillas killed in combat during the country’s internal conflict, which largely ended with the 2016 demobilization of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.Military members could claim rewards for presenting results — or bodies — in the fight against armed groups.

The case of Tejada’s son Oscar, who was 26 years old when he disappeared, was accepted in the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, the court in charge of judging the facts of the bloody and long-running internal conflict. She has joined the Mothers of Soacha, a group made up of mothers, wives and sisters who demand justice in 20 of the cases.

Uribe has said the new figures are based on information from nongovernmental organizations that opposed his government and he defended his hardline policy of “democratic security” that weakened the guerrillas and killed some of their most important leaders.
