The WPC expresses its solidarity with Manuel Olate Cespedes, member of the Communist Party of Chile who has been recently arrested by the Chilean authorities and is facing extradition to Colombia.Leonel Casco Gutiérrez
Tegucigalpa, Thursday, November 11, 2010
The accusations of the Colombian state for collaboration with terrorist groups is based on the perception of Colombia and its governments which denies the social and political character of the decades long armed conflict in Colombia, labeling activists from different countries as “terrorists”, while they are in favor of a negotiated peace agreement and the release of hostages by the guerilla.
It is the same forces and mechanisms who are attacking and assassinating progressive trade unionists, journalists and political leaders in Colombia, who are not even hesitating to prosecute Colombian Senator Piedad Córdoba.
The WPC denounces any plans to extradite Manuel Olate Céspedes to Colombia, which constitutes today the most loyal ally of US imperialism in the region, another Israel of Latin America.
We demand his immediate release from custody and the drop of the accusations.
We furthermore express our solidarity with the Colombian people in their struggle against the deployment of new US military bases in their country and region, which is aiming at the control and interference in the area by the imperialists.
