FARC Leaders Sentenced for Kidnapping in Colombia

FARC Leaders Sentenced for Kidnapping in Colombia

In Colombia, a special court sentenced seven former FARC leaders.

These leaders were part of a rebel group.

The court was created after a peace agreement.

The leaders were found guilty of kidnapping people to get money.

They have to work for eight years to make up for their actions, like building roads.

This is the first time the court has given out individual punishments.

The court is trying leaders from both the FARC and the military for war crimes.
