Gregory W. Meeks - Letter To "Tirofijo"

Letter To "Tirofijo"

On December 20, 2007, together with two other US representatives (Bill Delahunt and Jim McGovern), Meeks wrote a letter thanking the head of the leftist Colombian guerilla organization, FARC (Revolutionary Army of Colombia, in Spanish), for the release of evidence that confirmed the survival of several of the forty-five hostages that the terrorist groups held captive (including three US citizens), some of them for over a decade. The group is considered a terrorist organization by the US government and the European Union (EU).
