1M-Plus March for Colombian Hostages

More than a million people marched in Bogota, Columbia and other world capitals today demanding the freedom of captives held hostage by leftist rebels in the Columbian jungle, AFP reports. Recently liberated captive Ingrid Betancourt led chants of "No More hostages" in Paris on Columbia's independence day, as famous musicians from across the globe staged a concert there.

Rallies to free the estimated 2,700 hostages held by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and the National Liberation Army took place in 1,000 towns and cities across Colombia, as well as Madrid and other European cities. A crowd of thousands also gathered outside the White House. (More Ingrid Betancourt stories.)
