Footballer Luis Diaz’s Father Released by ELN

Colombia's National Liberation Army (ELN) has freed the kidnapped Luis Manuel Diaz, father of Liverpool footballer Luis Diaz. Diaz was taken hostage by the leftist guerilla group on October 28, along with Diaz's mother Cilenis Marulanda, though she was freed within hours after national and international outcry. The couple were taken hostage at gunpoint at a gas station near their hometown in the remote Serranía del Perijá in the North of Colombia.
