Colombian conflict - Right-wing paramilitaries entered the Village of Chengue
Time: Thursday Jan 17, 2002
Place: Chengue, Colombia
Details: On January 17, 2002, right-wing paramilitaries entered the village of Chengue, and divided up the villagers into two groups. They then went from person to person in one of the groups, smashing each person's head with sledgehammers and rocks, killing 24 people, as the Colombian military sat by and watched. Two other bodies were later discovered dumped in a shallow grave. As the paramilitaries left, they set fire to the village.
