So in a country that has seen tens of thousands of extrajudicial killings in recent decades, not to mention cases of "torture, rape, incineration, decapitation and mutilation with chainsaws or machetes of dozens of their victims at a time, affecting civilians, women and children" (according to sources quoted by WP) -- the vast majority of which have never been prosecuted, and most likely never will be -- they're going to string this guy up for... sharing a PDF? And for the sake of... a "free trade" agreement? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramilitarism_in_Colombia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramilitarism_in_Colombia

Some people here uphold any law as something eternal and unchangeable, and above all criticisms. I think it has something to do with the Spaniards and their Catholicism, and the many Jesuit high schools. At least that's what my Facebook stream of comments about some recent case involving Bogotá's mayor makes me perceive. There's a huge divide between city people with all their laws and the contempt for provincial people, and the actual provincial people, the ones who suffer from guerrillas and paramilitaries just for trying to own some agricultural land.
