Colombian magazine Semana has a striking photo gallery of demonstrations by the families of 'false positive' victims - innocent civilians killed by the military and dressed up to look like guerrillas. Some of the aspects of this commemorative act are very familiar to those who follow news of the disppeared, such as the placards with images of the victims, while others are rather more unusual.
