Uribe: No Apology for
Ecuador Raid
Colombian President
Alvaro Uribe refused to
apologize for the March
1 air raid of Ecuadorian
territory and called to
try Mexican survivor
Lucia Morett.
In interview for the
Mexican TV while
attending the World
Economic Forum in
Cancun, Uribe blamed the
four Mexican late
students and Morett of
holding direct ties with
the FARC.
Uribe also rejected
Morett's version and the
Mexican Autonomous
University rejection of
the late students'
membership in the
Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia (FARC)
and asked him not to
criminalize the
students' social
concerns.
The Colombian head of
state called to take
Morett to trial either
in Mexico or Colombia
for alleged felony and
rejected Mexico's
official request to
compensate the late
students' families.
He also stressed that
the FARC operated in
Ecuador with consent of
the Ecuadorian
government, but Quito
has denied it and urged
Bogota for proof.
The journalist reminded
Uribe that the world
condemned the raid he
does not regret.
Mexico's Attorney
General Office received
Colombian official
documents that try to
prove that Morett as
coordinator of the FARC
in Mexico.
At the meeting with
Uribe, President
Calderon reminded that
Morett, the late
students and their
relatives enjoy
protection by Mexican
and international laws.
Mexico also volunteered
official support to
demand for justice and
interest to settle
regional conflicts as
Alternate Secretary of
the Group of Rio. |
