The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia said Tuesday that they will not accept a peace treaty that would send insurgents to prison for fighting against something that they saw as an injustice, according to EFE.

"Let it be known that no accord is possible that would impose a single day in prison for any guerrilla for having exercised the right to rebel, a precious gift of humanity, in order to end the injustices our people have suffered," FARC said in a statement.

Colombia's government and FARC have been conducting peace talks to settle the on-going conflict within the country.

Rebel negotiator Rodrigo Granda read the statement to the media emphasizing that FARC is not avoiding their responsibilities in the conflict.

"It's not members of the FARC who have enjoyed impunity throughout the Colombian conflict, but rather the oligarchy, the governing political class and the military," he said.

"To claim the contrary is a mere exercise in political propaganda, as well as an insult to the intelligence of all Colombian people."

FARC understands that it has to acknowledge its "politico-military character" as Colombia's conflict comes to an end.

The rebel group asked that the government look for examples of "the political and legal resolution of armed conflicts."

They also urge that the Colombian government give "special attention" to the "numerous examples of political agreements containing amnesties and pardons."

Meanwhile, high-ranking Colombian officers joined the peace talks for the first time Thursday, Reuters reports.

The five generals and one admiral are expected to provide their recommendations on how to find an end to the country's conflict that cost the lives of 20,000 people and displaced millions more in the past nearly 50 years.

Peace talks started about two and a half years ago as fighting between the rebel group and government persists.

Negotiators have reached some agreements on land reform, political participation for former rebels and an end to illegal drug trade.
