INGRID BETANCOURT FREED AT LAST
|
|
Australian Greens Leader Bob Brown is delighted by the release of his friend and Colombian political captive Ingrid Betancourt, who has been held captive by FARC guerrillas in the Colombian jungle for the past six years.
Brown, a friend of Ms Betancourt’s, says that she has at times been chained by the leg to trees and otherwise cruelly treated in her six years of imprisonment.
Watch Ingrid's 2001 address to the Global Greens conference in Canberra.

In a 2 - 1 split judgement (Crennan, Hayne - Kirby) the High Court rejected Greens Leader Bob Brown's application to appeal against the full Federal Court's decision which overruled Justice Marshall's 2006 ban on logging in Tasmania's Wielangta Forest. The campaign to protect these creatures and their forest home continues.
Watch the Youtube video of Senator Brown's response.
