Thousands Kidnapped in Colombia in Last Decade

Tens of thousands of Colombians marched on Monday — at home and abroad — to demand that the country’s largest rebel group stop kidnapping people and release those it is holding. The protesters denounced FARC’s [Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia] use of violence and kidnapping in its bid to overthrow the Colombian government. The Marxist group is holding hundreds of hostages, including more than 40 high-profile captives. Producer Zulima Palacio traveled recently to Colombia to examine the kidnapping problem. Mil Arcega narrates her story.”*
