Victims of paramilitary violence in Colombia talk about their experiences after a US federal court in Florida found banana giant Chiquita Brands International liable for financing the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a US-designated terrorist organization known for its human rights abuses. "They left many people homeless, there were many orphans, many widows, and there was a lot of poverty and hunger," says one Colombian whose husband was killed amid the violence. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
