Missing FARC leader may have been forcibly disappeared, says son
by Brenden Paulsen July 2, 2019
A son of missing FARC Congressman “Jesus Santrich” said Monday that he does not rule out his father was kidnapped and killed.
Santrich’s son made the claims in an anonymous interview with public television network Canal Uno.
“It is possible he has been forcibly disappeared,” said the son, who asked to remain anonymous.
According to the son of the FARC leader, he was expecting to meet Santrich at a public event in Barranquilla on Sunday, but has not been able to have contact with his father ahead of his disappearance.
. . .
The disappearance triggered the latest of a series of crisis in the fragile peace process that began in 2016, but has been hindered by fierce opposition from the far-right, deadly violence against demobilized guerrillas, community leaders and human rights defenders and state failures to implement the deal.
