Hermencia Vega García

Hermencia Vega García is the mother of Diuviseldo Torres Vega, a man who was forcibly disappeared more than two decades ago by paramilitaries disguised as security agents. For 23 years, Hermencia has held onto hope that her son would return, recounting the moment he was taken from their home in Piamonte, Colombia. Recently, a court confirmed that Diuviseldo was a victim of forced disappearance, allegedly linked to a local figure, Lucho Herrera, who has been accused of financing the operation. Hermencia disputes these claims, asserting that her family lived peacefully as neighbors to Herrera and that they were never involved in any land sale discussions.
