PBI Letter to Wall Street Journal
We share with you the letter sent by Peace Brigades International (PBI) to the US newspaper The Wall Street Journal in response to the accusations against the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó in an article published by that newspaper on December 14th.
Peace Brigades International would like to express our deep concern regarding the contents of the article “The FARC and the Peace Community” (Wall Street Journal, December 13, 2009). Peace Brigades International emphatically rejects the article’s assertion that the leaders of the Peace Community of San Jose de Apartadó are collaborators of the guerilla organization known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).

He had turned himself in to the Army last November
