Some witnesses
On the Kidnapping of Children in Colombia
All you bullies, free the little girls,
All you weaklings, free the little boys
Kidnapping is the lowest form of cowardice;
All you mothers, free the nation,
All you fathers, free the nation,
All you brave ones, free the nation,
All with valor, free the nation,
All who are daring, free the nation,
Self sacrifice for the country is the highest form of courage.Kerry Kennedy
I have the honour to turn on a light as a symbol of freedom, in the hope that those that not posses it can obtain itRita Levi Montalcini
The greatest resoure our world has are the children. I beg those who take the hostage to have mercy and set the children free.
Love and PeaceBetty Williams
Not a light, but a torch, a fire, a blaze, an Apocalypse to say no, and again no, to this horror. Give them their freedom!Susanna Agnelli
Questa luce è una fiamma di speranza per chi è stato strappato ai suoi affetti e alla sua libertà. Ma questo faro vuole anche accendere una luce interiore in chi provoca tanto dolore negli altri, per poter guardare dentro se stesso, ricordare che siamo tutti fratelli, ritrovare cuore e umanità.Letizia Moratti
EL SECUESTRO ES EL ATENTADO MÁS REPUDIABLE CONTRA LA VIDA Y LA LIBERTAD, ES LA MIRADA MÁS CERCANA A LA MUERTE Y MATA EL ESPIRITU HUMANO.Rigoberta Menchú Tum |
