(Camera: JUAN DIEGO LOPEZ). SHOT LIST: FORMER FARC GUERILLAS GATHER AT BOLIVAR SQUARE, BOGOTA, COLOMBIA.SOUND BITE: JULIAN GALLO CUBILLOS, SENATOR OF FARC PARTY.TRANSLATION: What we intend to do is to raise awareness among the Colombian society. We want to raise awareness among the people in this country and of course to also draw attention of the national government and the State because to date, 236 ex-guerrillas who had signed the peace agreement have been assassinated.
In Colombia, guerrilla members carry many scars of the five-decade armed conflict that killed 260,000 people. As they prepare to lay down their guns, they must learn to live with their wounds and build peace with their former enemies.
