You’re welcome to forgive him, but it’s still disqualifying. You don’t give someone a second chance to repeat their mistakes, when that mistake was an authoritarian military crackdown on the people they were charged with protecting.
Or maybe you should tell the entire story about how he realized he fucked up, formally apologized, and made good with the organization.
