A human rights group Friday accused the Colombian military of executing three union activists in northeastern Colombia, but the army said the men were meeting with leftist guerrillas when they were killed during a shootout with soldiers.
General Luis Garcia said the union leaders -- Jorge Prieto, Leonel Goyeneche and Hector Martinez -- were shooting at soldiers when they were killed in the town of Saravena in the northeastern province of Arauca on Thursday. |
