Lucio to Colombia: “Lemme In!”
BBC:
Ecuador’s ousted President, Lucio Gutierrez, who faces charges of damaging his country’s security, has requested asylum in Colombia.The Colombian authorities have granted him a 90-day safe conduct, to give him time to make a formal request.
Mr Gutierrez, who arrived from Peru, was reportedly told at Bogota airport that there was an international warrant for his arrest.
Mr Gutierrez was ousted by congress in April following mass protests.
He previously stayed in Brazil and the United States, before travelling to Peru.
Like your blog! What do you think about Uribe trying to get Plan Colombia renewed? Bush just decertified Venezuela btu wants to keep giving money to Colombia. I’ve started a debate on it on my blog:
