Jesús Santrich

Seuxis Pausias Hernández Solarte, more commonly known as Jesús Santrich (31 July 1967 – 17 May 2021), was a guerrilla leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia–People's Army (FARC–EP).

He was a member of the Chamber of Representatives of Colombia until August 2019 and was the FARC's delegate in the Colombian peace process in Havana.

[1] He was a member of a Communist youth organization as a teenager and studied Social Sciences at the University of Atlántico.

[2] He was wanted by the US Government on allegations of drug trafficking, carried out six months after the peace process.

[3][4] A Truth Commission report released in 2022 showed that the charges against Jesús Santrich and his arrest were a plot by the DEA and Colombian Attorney General Néstor Humberto Martínez to jeopardize the Colombian peace process, incite the FARC to take up arms again, and send a message to the public that the peace agreement had failed.
