BOGOTA (Reuters) - At least 18,667 children in Colombia were forced to join the now-demobilized FARC guerrilla group and subjected to abuses and treatment considered war crimes over a 20-year period, the country's transitional justice court (JEP) said on Tuesday.
The JEP's investigation, which will see 26 former members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) called to testify, relates to case 07, which concerns the former rebel group's recruitment and use of minors.
