A judge sentenced the rector of a school in Santander, Colombia, to 20 years in prison. She and her husband were complicit in the murder of an ELN guerrilla, the judge says.

The school was also used as an operations center for the Cacique Guanentá Communal Front. The judge concludes that the husbands “maintained a close relationship with the illegal group’s leaders,” writes Ruben Navarrette. He says the school was a link between problems that arose in the community and the rules applied by armed groups.
