Colombia’s FARC Rebels to Stop Practice of Kidnapping

Posted on February 28, 2012

This week, Voice of Witness editor Sibylla Brodzinsky published an article in the Christian Science Monitor. Sibylla reports that Colombia’s FARC rebels will no longer use kidnapping as an intimidation tactic in an effort to restart peace talks, and they will release their “prisoners of war”—members of the military and politics used for exchange with captured rebels.

Sibylla is co-editor of the forthcoming title by Voice of Witness, Throwing Stones at the Moon: Narratives from Colombians Displaced by Violence. Coming this fall, Throwing Stones at the Moon describes the most widespread of Colombia’s human rights crises: forced displacement. Click here to learn more about the book.
