                rights or to have aided or abetted paramilitary 
                organizations or successor armed groups.

                information, such as the identity of persons suspended 
                from the Armed Forces and the nature and cause of the 
                suspension, and access to witnesses, relevant military

                Colombian communities, and that the Colombian Armed 
                Forces are appropriately distinguishing between 
                civilians, including displaced persons, and combatants

                substantial progress in and are severing links 
                (including denying access to military intelligence, 
                vehicles, and other equipment or supplies, and ceasing 
                other forms of active or tacit cooperation) at all

                    (F) The civilian judicial authorities of the 
                Government of Colombia are making demonstrable progress 
                in dismantling paramilitary leadership and financial 
                networks by arresting and vigorously prosecuting under 
                civilian criminal law individuals who have provided 
                financial, planning, or logistical support, or have 
                otherwise aided or abetted paramilitary organizations

                by paramilitary organizations or their associates and 
                returning such land or assets to their rightful owners, 
                by revoking reduced sentences for demobilized 
                paramilitaries who engage in new criminal activity, and
