Colombia's Dr Miguel Angel Beltr谩n absolved of all charges

4 June 2011

Dr Miguel Angel Beltr谩n, the most prominent 'prisoner of conscience' whose case 樱花动漫 has taken up in recent years, has been absolved of all charges.

樱花动漫 general secretary Sally Hunt said 'we are delighted that Dr Beltr谩n has been absolved of all charges. This vindicates the efforts 樱花动漫 members have put in alongside Justice for Colombia, Amnesty International and teacher trade unionists round the world. We hope that it will be a significant step forward in the ongoing battle for human rights in Colombia.'

It is thought the verdict relates to the Colombian Supreme Court decision that evidence from the notorious FARC computers is illegal. Justice for Colombia expect Dr Beltr谩n to be released in the coming days.

UPDATE: Dr Miguel Beltr谩n released
