Colombia honors missing during International Week of the Detained and Disappeared

Organizations around the world are marking the International Week of the Detained and Disappeared – paying tribute to the untold numbers of victims around the globe who simply vanish, often at the hands of armed groups or criminal gangs. In Colombia, victims’ groups gathered in Bogota on Thursday night to honor the tens of thousands of Colombians lost during the country’s armed conflict. Michelle Begue reports.
