A few years ago
guerrilla groups implemented a violent actions involving the conduct of checkpoints in the various national roads, with the purpose of kidnapping unarmed citizens, and then obtain economic returns on account of the freedom of the hostages. Miraculous catch was the name given to this practice. The first of the television and radio news and the headlines constantly realized in the form of facts and highlighted the people who fell in the catches.

The Government of the Democratic Security in developing what is called criminal law theory of the enemy, the strategies designed to confront the illegal armed groups, implemented a miraculous catch of fish species by the process of mass arrests, which took place in different parts of the country, having a particular impact on the social and judicial Huila Department. These procedures constituted

paradigm of systematic violation of fundamental rights of citizens, but not only this, also erected a prototype of the illegality of Police and judicial procedures. First, because the procedures for arrest were illegal in most cases, the "court operations" (if this is what can be called the actions executed by the authorities judicial police under orders and supervision of military authorities) involved civilians as rebels pointed randomly to community members overwhelmed with the presence of authority, and no more will be deprived of liberty: the latter, because the judicial, mainly specialized prosecutors were deaf, blind and dumb at such aberrations, and acting contrary to good sense, ie, proceeding without autonomy, independence and impartiality, as was his duty as first and foremost had sworn to uphold the Constitution respect when they assumed their positions, not only legalized the catch but uttered in almost all cases measures assurance and then indictments, all of which was unveiled before the trial judges, who in the vast majority of acquittals uttered processes.

What just noted appears proven in the research project entitled "mass arrests in Huila: STRATEGY FOR DEMOCRATIC SECURITY POLICY?," REASONABLE AND EFFECTIVE PRACTICE? ", Developed by Seed Research Dikeius, linked to Rights Research Group and Law of the Third Millennium, Faculty of Law, University Surcolombiana, registered with Colciencias.

work now published is the result of a valiant effort. It divided into two parts carefully constructed. Chapter I is devoted to theory. Resolve the starting points used to take stance on personal freedom continues with an explanation of the circumstances - circumstances and conditions, which allow deprivation according to national regulations and international standards, then it is conceptualized on security policies in the modern state and particularly discussed the so-called Defense Policy and Public Safety.

Chapter II deals with the geopolitical description of Huila Department, describes the design that gave the research project and realizes of the findings, among which the lack of fairness in the procedures of capture and lack of support both in the allegations as criminal charges that the prosecution raised against a large number of defenseless citizens.

The work ends with some very suggestive findings reveal an unusual effort by the authorities-police, military and judicial (especially those requesting) - to present to the national public opinion "positive" in its fight against organized crime, why the analyzed reveal that the actions "arbitrary and irrational haste, in the exercise of power. With all that is negatively impacted community because such actions were afraid in the social structure and, worse, distrust of the public authorities to proceed.

In these terms, this research becomes a historical document Amalaya checked by the authorities in the future does not repeat what is shown here, so that the actions of those in power is placed on the road to justice, free of the substantial efficiency-the criminal law, far from guarantees and therefore, inappropriate for our model of State Constitution.

Despite all the difficulties that persist in higher education passing by the absence or lack of budget, corrupt leaders, guiding medium hair between academia and politics, rigged calls for the provision of teachers, unnecessary parallel payrolls and so on, optimism revived when one observes that people constitute the soul and nerve of academia, students, organized in seed research, develop activities that inquire about the problems of social and reliably reconstruct the recent history of our country as troubled as resistant.

With unconcealed pride I must point out that the harvest has been obtained is the result of careful planting, selective, with great satisfaction that I congratulate Welcome to the world of research each and every member of the Seed Research Socio-Legal DIKEIUS "path to justice", who with all the devotion and hard work have this important document Huila community and academia.
