Inpec officers register FARC rebels before they leave El Buen Pastor prison in Bogota, Colombia January 20, 2016. Colombia's government released on Wednesday 16 of the 30 imprisoned FARC rebels the government had decided to pardon in late November. The move represents a unilateral gesture on behalf of the government, after assessing compliance with the unilateral ceasefire by The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and as a consequence in the reduction of violence as the peace deal progresses.
