Colombians for Peace Delegation visit Dublin next week
Issued on April 17, 2013 at 04:20 PM
Leading members of the Colombians for Peace organisation will visit London, Belfast and Dublin next week [April 21st - 25th] in a bid to increase awareness of the dangerous situation in which the Colombian people live and to garner international support for a just peace process which includes all members of civil society.
This follows on from the highly successful visit of last year's delegation, although the measure of success for the individuals concerned on these visits is generally judged by the increased security risk when they return to their homes, which is a clear and constant danger.
The work and lives of all those involved in the struggle for peace in Colombia is truly remarkable and deserves, unreservedly, our support and assistance. The visit to Dublin begins on Tuesday 23rd April and will comprise meetings with politicians, TDs, trade union officials and civil society organisations. It will culminate with a public meeting at 6.30pm in the Connolly Room, Liberty Hall where all are welcome to attend.
A full report from the delegation will be posted here shortly after the visit takes place.
