Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Situation in Colombia: ICTU

3:55 pm

Mr. Peter Bunting:

I omitted to mention that the Irish Congress of Trade Unions calls for the immediate release of the trade union leader, Mr. Huber Ballesteros, who is in jail. He has been incarcerated without charge for over a year in Bogota. We seek his immediate release.

On behalf of ICTU, I thank the committee members and the Chairman who have expressed an interest and concern in, and empathy with, the people of Colombia.
