The United States continues to fund and direct a war for Colombia's natural resources that has become nothing less than a war against the nation's farmers for their land. It is a war that wreaks havoc and terror throughout the countryside as whole communities are threatened, attacked and displaced. There are five million persons in Colombia who have been displaced mainly because of military and paramilitary violence. Sixty percent of those are farmers and farm workers. At this point in time, rural populations in the departments of Tolima and Arauca appear to be specially slated for repression and forced relocation. |

It is with a feeling of pride that we come out publicly on this day of international solidarity with the Colombian political prisoners whose only crime is to love their homeland more than they love their own lives. |
In Colombia there are more than 7,200 persons deprived of their liberty for political motives, that is to say, for having exercised their political opposition to the current regime or for the simple act of living in zones highly affected by the internal armed conflict; these persons are political prisoners, whether it be due to conscience, war, or judicial frame-ups.

Bogotá, Colombia - Liliany Obando is powerful. She is one thousands of Colombian political prisoners. For a year now, I have known Liliany through letters. We finally met face-to-face on three occasions, during a delegation sponsored by the U.S.-based Campaign for Labor Rights and the Colombia Action Network. I represented the International Network in Solidarity with Colombia's Political Prisoners. |
