Colombia peace tribunal charges 10 ex-FARC over Indigenous crimes

Ten former FARC fighters were charged on Oct. 13, 2026, by Colombia's Special Jurisdiction for Peace, the court for conflict-era crimes. It alleges war crimes and crimes against humanity — serious abuses breaking the laws of war — involving torture, murder and forced displacement of five Indigenous groups in southeast Colombia from 1996 to 2016. Only non-prison penalties are allowed.
