He was handed over to Colombian senator Piedad Córdoba and delegates of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in a rural area of Cauca.
The ICRC is delighted that Sigifredo López, Alan Jara and four members of the police and armed forces have been able to return home and offers its good offices to help reunite other Colombians who remain in the hands of armed groups with their families.
The ICRC thanks the governments of Brazil and Colombia, the police and armed forces, Colombians for Peace and the FARC for their cooperation in the humanitarian operations that led to the release of these six Colombians.
The ICRC will continue working to protect and assist all victims of the armed conflict.
