Colombia urged to 'stop playing games' with Irishmen

The Colombian government was today urged to stop playing with the lives of three Irishmen acquitted this week of training Marxist rebels.

As Niall Connolly, James Monaghan and Martin McCauley waited for word over whether they would be released from La Modelo Prison soon, supporters of the men called for a “comprehensive security plan” from the Colombian authorities to ensure the men’s safe passage home to Ireland.
