Public Statement regarding the arbitrary transfer of Political Prisoner Miguel Ángel Beltrán Villegas:
The International Network in Solidarity with the Political Prisoners protests in the strong possible terms the ongoing violation of the rights of Colombian political prisoner, Miguel Ángel Beltrán Villegas.
At approximately 9pm on the night of December 23 he was disturbed in his cell at the "Modelo National Prison" by guards who informed him he was being transferred immediately to another prison. He was not told why he was being transferred or to which facility. In response to his question he was simply told he was “being transferred to cold country.”
This punitive measure violates the rights of Professor Beltrán and jeopardises the judicial process to which he is being subjected. His legal team will not have ready access for interviews required in the preparation of his defence. Our network remains convinced that the charges brought against him of support for Colombia's guerrilla movement are part of a campaign to silence opponents of the government of President Uribe.
The sudden transfer of Professor Beltrán during this Christmas holiday period has caused anguish for family members wanting to visit him including his younger son who had travelled from another country to see his father.
We fully support demands for the release of Miguel Ángel Beltrán Villegas. We also wish to be informed as to his current whereabouts, the reasons for his sudden transfer and support the disciplining of the personnel involved in the harsh and arbitrary measure.
We want Miguel Angel Beltran alive and free now!
We demand Freedom for all political prisoners
No more bogus charges, Humanitarian Exchange Now!
