Journalist Jineth Bedoya, who was kidnapped, raped and tortured by paramilitaries 21 years ago, on Tuesday (Oct 19) applauded the "historic" decision by a regional rights court to hold the Colombian state responsible for her violent assault.

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled Monday that the acts against Bedoya "could not have been carried out without the consent and collaboration of the (Colombian) State, or at least with its tolerance."
Bedoya, now 47, was working for the El Espectador newspaper investigating a weapons smuggling ring when she was abducted and attacked by far-right militia members in 2000.
"It's a historic sentence. The court's decisions as reparations ... are public policy, but also jurisprudence for the entire hemisphere, not just Colombia," Bedoya, fighting back tears, told reporters in the capital Bogota.
"And that is where the triumph is of all these years seeking justice."
The court is an autonomous part of the Organization of American States (OAS) and its decisions are definitive and unappealable.
Bedoya was seized by a paramilitary group from outside a Bogota prison and then raped and tortured for 16 hours before being abandoned on a roadside.
