Former guerrilla leaders and mediators are trying to convince a FARC leader to end a month-long hunger strike in protest of a US extraditing request that put Colombia’s peace process on the brink of collapse.
The ex-rebels’ long-time ideologue, “Jesus Santrich,” has refused to eat since he was arrested on vague drug trafficking charges on April 9. He has been under medical supervision since April 26.
Claims that the US Justice Department is not just investigating Santrich, but also the group’s political leader, “Ivan Marquez,” put Colombia’s peace talks on the brink of collapse last month.
