attempted escape or upcoming army release, demobilized guerrilla ‘Miryam’ told

In a press conference organized by Colombia’s armed forces, Myriam said that after Isaza’s escape, the commanders of the fronts doubled the security of the hostages and reiterated “that if a hostage is to be rescued by the army, he must be killed. Let them rescue them dead instead of alive,” Myriam told reporters were her orders.
