Abstract
VEGA CANTOR, Renán. The massacre of the courthouse. An Emblematic example of state terrorism in Colombia (November 6th and 7th, 1985). Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.1, pp.107-133. ISSN 1657-8031.
This paper presents a study on the known Storming of the Palace of Justice of Colombia by the insurgency of the M-19 and the subsequent retake of the National Army. There a massacre was set up, which is necessary to not only remember, but to analyze the fact, after 30 years of its occurrence (November 6th and 7th, 1985), which marked the history of Colombia. This bloody episode becomes a laboratory for understanding the mechanisms that characterize the Colombian state terrorism. What was it that really happened?
