> Colombia’s hardline president, Abelardo De La Espriella, posted footage of himself walking among white body bags that he said held 23 “neutralised” guerrillas killed in a military operation in the Colombian Amazon. Human rights activists and political opponents condemned the video as a dehumanising political spectacle.
