COThe Colombian National Search Unit for Disappeared Persons (UBPD) announced the recovery of five bodies in the high mountain area of the Gloria Valencia de Castaño National Park in Tolima. These remains are believed to belong to individuals who disappeared during the armed conflict between 2010 and 2014. The operation was part of a two-year humanitarian and extrajudicial search under the 'Regional Search Plan for the Central Mountain Range.' Local communities, including residents of Rioblanco and Chaparral, and organizations like Reencuentros played a crucial role by providing testimony and information. The identification process will involve forensic and genetic analyses by the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences, with some families having already submitted DNA samples to the Genetic Profile Bank. This recovery aims to provide closure to families who have waited years for answers.
