Even more detailed than the media hype surrounding Ingrid Betancourt, this report is a reminder of the hundreds of hostages and tens of millions of displaced persons in Columbia. The FARC have risen in violent response to a history that is no less violent. In this context, President Uribe's sabotage of the peace process reveals his ties with the paramilitary, who have massacred rural populations.
Followed by a discussion with Claudio Guthmann (Columbia Coordinator for Amnesty International in French-speaking Belgium), Luis Guillermo Perez (Secretary General of the International Federation for Human Rights) and Belén Torres (Belgian Coordinator for Columbia (CBC))
