LABOUR MPs demanded yesterday that British ministers take action over the thousands of campaigners and trade unionists imprisoned for political reasons in Colombia.
Trade union group chairman Ian Lavery and Leeds East MP Richard Burgon both raised the abuses at foreign and commonwealth questions.
Mr Lavery told the Commons how Huber Ballesteros, leader of the Patriotic March opposition party, had been jailed since August 2013.
