Colombian television aired videos of 10 soliders and policemen that have been held by FARC rebels in a jungle camp for as long as 11 years. The men, chained by the neck as they face the camera, send messages of love to their families and thank those working to liberate them.

The tapes were recovered over the weekend from a FARC operative before he was arrested by authorities. The proof-of-life videos were filmed by the guerrillas to increase pressure on the Colombian government.
