Mass Held for Victims of Colombia Attacks in Ecuador

HeadlineMar 20, 2008

In Ecuador, a mass was held on Wednesday for four Mexican students killed in a Colombian attack on a FARC rebel camp earlier this month. Alvaro Gonzalez, whose son Juan died in the attack, said Colombian officials should be taken to court.

Alvaro Gonzalez: “The most important thing is that they do not defame our children, that they do not assassinate the truth. That is our principal objective. And the second one is that the guilty parties are taken to court, that the guilty parties confess, and that the whole world knows what they did. We have to take them to court, and it doesn’t matter when. I believe that one day they will pay.”

The Organization of American States approved a measure this week condemning the Colombian attack.
