They killed six women during that operation. four of them were pregnant and the other two were not. They were captured in the village of El Rincón, stripped, and then they were taken away with their hands above their heads, nude. So everyone else could see them getting tortured by the Armed Forces. They took them to the river, they forced them to bathe in the water, and then they raped them. They cut their heads off and extracted the babies from their wombs, putting them in their arms. They left them all sitting in a line.
