A Colombian court has recently sentenced a retired army general Jaime Humberto Uscátegui to 40 years of imprisonment. The former general was found guilty of murdering some 50 civilians in the village of Mapiripán during a five-day period in July 1997. His sentence is considered the longest ever for an army officer in Colombia.
