Colombia Government Endangers Hostages Lives
Bogota - Colombian Liberal Senator Piedad
Cordoba denounced on Thursday that the
government''s military pressure against the
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)
is putting in danger the lives and
unilateral release of of noncommissioned
officer Pablo Emilio Moncayo and other
people held by the guerrilla.
Cordoba warned
that the government is focused on carrying
out a second "Operacion Jaque"; that's the
reason behind its constant military
harassment in the area, where the hostages
allegedly are.
She referred to the Army operation to rescue
French-Colombian politician Ingrid
Betancourt, three US citizens and 11
Colombian military on July 2, 2008.
We have very serious information around the
existence of a sort of Operacion Jaque,
which puts in serious risk the lives of the
son of Professor Gustavo Moncayo and other
people, and "that is certainly not our
responsibility," she warned.
We, in Colombianos por la Paz have done
everything possible, we have worked hard and
knocked all doors, but we think it is is
better to let this possibility of release
pass than have someone killed," she added.
