The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) militants warned the Colombian government, increased government military activity would jeopardise the release of the recently captured Colombian general, reports Agence France Presse.
Condemning Colombian troop deployments and movement restricting security measures imposed into their areas, the Farc said,
“These communities have been practically besieged by the army.”
The Farc went onto call for demilitarisation before freeing the captured general, and requested the Red Cross to be involved in the hand over.
