Saturday, August 8, 2009 Dear friends, Today 8 August, it is exactly one year since the Colombian police detained our comrade and friend Liliany Obando and charged her with two counts of rebellion and managing funds for a terrorist organization. nchamah miller Instituto de Filosofia/Universidad de la Habana- Directora Relaciones Internationales Red de Investigadores Latino Americanos por la Democracia y la Paz www.insumisos.com In the attached open letter, Liliany herself gives a brave account on how the Colombian government uses her case in an effort to silence the political opposition and proponents for social justice. Nowadays when the Colombian government has accepted to build seven US military bases in the country in a clear servile position, Liliany, as the Colombian political prisoners, workers, peasants, indigenous, the poor and African descendents, with their indomitable spirit, inspire all of us to continue to support them in their struggle against human rights abuses and for a just Colombia. Peace and Justice for Colombia, PJFC calls on all to demand that the Colombian government listen to its people and respects the human and labour rights and implement a Humanitarian Exchange of prisoners as a first step in the political solution to the deep social and complex armed conflict in the country.
