</head> <body> <p> <b>AMNISTÍA INTERNACIONAL�DECLARACIÓN PÚBLICA </b> </p> <p/> <p>�Índice AI: AMR 23/002/2013 �22 de enero de 2013 </p> <p>� </p> <p> <b>�Colombia: Los rehenes deben ser liberados inmediatamente</b>��Amnistía Internacional pide la liberación inmediata e incondicional de los cinco trabajadores de la minería tomados como rehenes el pasado viernes, según informes, por el grupo guerrillero Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), y que se respete su vida y su integridad personal. ��Los cinco trabajadores —dos peruanos, uno canadiense y dos colombianos— fueron capturados en el departamento de Bolívar, en el norte del país. ��Amnistía Internacional condena la toma de rehenes, que es una infracción grave del derecho internacional humanitario y puede constituir un crimen de guerra.��La organización pide la liberación inmediata e incondicional de los cinco hombres y de cualquier otro civil en poder de las partes enfrentadas en el conflicto armado de Colombia.��Amnistía Internacional pide asimismo a las autoridades que identifiquen a las personas responsables de este y de otros casos de secuestro y toma de rehenes, y garanticen que responden de sus actos ante la justicia.�</p> </body> </html> <div class="messages noicon"><h2><a href="/en/library/info/AMR23/002/2013/en">View the overview page for this document</a></h2></div> </div> </div> </div></div> <!--
