Colombia: Santos removes 102 police officers after massacre of farmers
COLOMBIAN President Juan Manuel Santos has ordered 102 police to be transferred over last week’s massacre of protesting coca growers.
Mr Santos tweeted on Tuesday that he had instructed the nation's police director to transfer the officers out of the Tumaco municipality in Narino.
The first — albeit tacit — acknowledgement that security forces were responsible for last Thursday’s massacre came two days after narcotics police opened fire on an international investigation team.
