June 1999 News

Piedad was freed!

In this moment, as two weeks ago, we feel overwhelmed by a storm of emotions that do not allow us to express the joy for the freeing of our dearest friend and fellow Piedad Córdoba. Piedad was freed on Friday June 4th at 11:45 AM.

We wish to share our happiness with each of you and to thank for your solidarity and support. Without the participation of each and every person and organization that rose their voices of protest, and demanded Piedad Córdoba's liberation, her release would not be possible.

Thank you very much. You have our permanent gratitude.

We hope Colombians can find the path for peaceful coexistence and understanding. Our challenge is to learn to face the multiple sufferings and violent acts that we encounter every day.

Affectionately,
Corporación Casa de la Mujer,
Bogotá
