Venezuela: Colombian
Detainees Alive
The Venezuelan minister
of Foreign Affairs and
Justice, Ramon Rodriguez
Chacin, presented proof
Friday that 10 soldiers
detained by the
Colombian Revolutionary
Armed Forces (FARC) are
alive.
Rodriguez Chacin showed
two videos of the
detainees taped in
December of 2007 and
another during early
2008 as more proof that
the insurgent group is
moving towards a
humanitarian agreement
with the Colombian
president.
He emphasized the
importance of the
gesture as paving the
way towards peace in the
neighboring country and
stated that the
government of President
Hugo Chavez continues
ready to help in the
liberation of more
persons in FARC hands.
He added that like
families of the soldiers
chosen to give proof of
life, those of the
guerrilla fighters
jailed by Colombian
authorities should also
be hopeful.
