Urgent Alert from Barranquilla

This morning at 10am, Jaime José Correa, vice-President of ANDESCOL (Asociación Nacional de Desplazados Colombianos, Atlántico; National Association of Displaced Colombians, Atlantic Region), was detained by the police while at the ANDESCOL headquarters in Barranquilla. He was waiting to meet with another individual who never arrived. A neighbor called Jaime’s wife to inform her of his detention.

Lawyers and accompaniers went with Jaime’s son to the Police station in Barranquilla and learned that it was indeed the police who detained him. We don’t know specific charges at this time, nor do we know when he will be released.

We ask for your prayers in this matter and we will keep you informed as new information arises.

Peace,
Rachel & Christine
