Colombia: Letter to Rebel Leader Demands Release of Kidnapped Political Figures

I am writing on behalf of Human Rights Watch to urge you to release immediately and unconditionally all civilians currently held hostage by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-People's Army (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia-Ejército del Pueblo, FARC-EP) under your command, as well as to take immediate action to cease further kidnapping by your forces.
