Have a Seat, Kidnapped

Yesterday there was something else than bikes on the 7a. in Bogotá. There was this line of chairs with black ribbons and a brick in front of every chair. On the brick there was a name of a kidnapped person in Colombia. I realised it was a protest against the "blood and fire" Uribe's policy. Four thousand women sat down on the chairs, with black outfits. They were begging for a humanitary exchange. Following and rescuing the kidnapped, imply an almost certain death for the kidnapped. I still can't beleive that people have the hope of changing the president's way of thinking. 4ooo women, but Uribe would do the usual thing: be quiet until this protest would be nothing but a forgotten event.
