The Centro Nacional de Memoria Histórica announced on social media that it will support the process of clarifying the cases of victims who were forcibly recruited by the now-defunct FARC-EP guerrilla group.

It also mentioned that it will promote both the clarification of these cases and the construction of memory for the victims, many of whom have not yet been heard.
