Eleven soldiers from Ecuador will go to jail. They hurt four young boys last year. The boys disappeared. A judge said the boys were innocent. This is good for justice in Ecuador.
The bad thing happened last December. The four boys were going home. A military group took them. The boys were hurt. They were left in a dangerous place. Their burned bodies were found later. It was a sad time for the families.
The soldiers were on patrol. They were looking for bad people. The soldiers said the boys stole something. But the court found this was not true. Videos helped show what happened.
The soldiers got long prison sentences. Eleven soldiers will be in jail for 34 years. Some other soldiers helped the court. They got shorter sentences. One leader was not found guilty.
This case shows bad things can happen. The public was very angry. The court decision is important. It shows the president is fighting crime. The jail sentences bring some justice. We must also protect people's rights.
