Dr Miguel Beltrán released

7 June 2011

Dr Beltrán was released from prison on 7 June 2011 after being detained for two years.

Justice for Colombia provided UCU with this information concerning this release: 'A group of around 200 people went to meet him at the exit of the prison as he came out, including his family, many university professors, and his former students. Many more people joined Dr. Beltrán afterwards to celebrate at an event at the National University.

However, the Colombian media have continued to accuse Miguel of being a terrorist, in spite of him being found innocent. There are therefore severe concerns for his safety, and since being released he has had to be accompanied by bodyguards.'
