Leaders of Colombia's landless in new peril (AP)

In this photo taken June 22, 2011, activist Franklin Torres straightens a sign at the entrance to the La Alemania farm that declares it is protected under a 2007 government decree from being sold because peasants claim it was stolen from them by a far-right warlord who made it his headquarters a decade ago, in San Onofre, Colombia. La Alemania is now in foreclosure and activists consider the case emblematic of the challenges of carrying out a new law that aims to redress some 4 million victims of Colombia's internal conflict. President Juan Manuel Santos has made the so-called Victims Law the centerpiece of his administration but activists are worried about his government's ability to protect them. At least 13 leaders of peasants trying to reclaim stolen land have been killed since Santos took office a year ago. (AP Photo/Frank Bajak)AP - The cornerstone of President Juan Manuel Santos' year-old government is a bold plan to compensate an estimated 4 million victims of Colombia's long-running civil conflict.
