Dear Foreign Secretary,

As you will be aware the Colombian regime is currently holding hundreds of political prisoners. Those deprived of their liberty include human rights defenders, trade unionists, student and community leaders, and academics. I trust that you will agree that this practice of jailing innocent people because of their opposition to Government policies is completely unacceptable.

I therefore hope that the British Government will speak out forcefully about this situation and demand that the Colombian Government free those that continue to be jailed for expressing their political opinions.

I would like to draw your attention to five current political prisoners: human rights defender David Rabelo Crespo and trade unionists Alexis Antonio Arroyo, Eulogio Tapiero Galindo, Manuel Antonio Marquez, and Omar Alfonso Combita all of whom are being held in prison without a fair trial.

The Colombian regime cannot expect to have normal relations with democratic countries such as the UK so long as they continue to imprison their critics. I look forward to hearing from you with regards to any progress that you have made in encouraging the Colombian authorities to free their political prisoners.

Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
