The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and human rights organizations charge that the government has not complied with the terms of an amnesty for political prisoners and is playing politics with their release. Authorities had announced that 30 FARC prisoners would be released, while the rebels unilaterally freed 500 captives they had been holding. Prison conditions for the political prisoners are said to be inhumane and their release is a deeply felt rebel demand. Natalia Margarita reports from Bogota. teleSUR
