[QUOTE](CNN)Colombia's government and the FARC rebel group will sign a peace deal, according to a joint statement announced Tuesday by Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos in a televised address.
The revised peace accord will be signed Thursday and sent to Congress for approval.
A peace deal negotiated earlier this year with FARC rebels was unexpectedly defeated by Colombian voters in October. Many voters were angered by what they saw as insufficient punishment for those who perpetrated a litany of crimes against their people.
Former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe Velez took a leading role in the campaign against that deal.
He argued it offered impunity to FARC fighters and accused his successor, Santos, of conceding to FARC demands.[/QUOTE]

So what exactly was revised? Will FARC criminals be arrested for more heavy stuff like war crimes or..?
