Justice for Colombia affiliation

Justice for Colombia is celebrating after the release of an agricultural trade union's leader Luz Cordoba after a campaign to free her was launched last year.

She was held for more than a year without being formally charged and now released.

Last year JFC says 94 trade unionists were assassinated in Colombia - no one has been arrested for any of the crimes. JFC aims to end UK military aid to Colombia.

The branch has been asked to reaffiliated to JFC as our affiliation has run out and the campaign says support offered by groups like ours has helped with successes like Luz's release.
