Here's the link to a great post at the CAJA website (it's on the link list on the right f the page). CAJA founder Scott Nicholson reports from a Colombian prison and focuses in on the case of Flor Diaz. Flor was a rural health promoter for 14 years. She was first detained and then arrested by Colombia's secret police in 2006. Nearly a year later her case went to trial, none of the six witnesses used at the time she was arrested for "rebellion" were presented, the judge left the room and 15 minutes later the prosecutor found here guilty. She's now serving 6 1/2 years in jail.For more details and the family background of Flor and others like her, go see Scott Nicholson's post. Well worth it. And if you are still wondering why there are a few minor blockages on the road to the Colombia/US Free Trade Agreement this next image is for you, as you probably don't even know how to spell the name of the country correctly.
