Former Colombian lawmaker Consuelo González, who was released Thursday together with former vice-presidential candidate Clara Rojas, Friday denounced that the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) have kept chained the police and military officers with whom she was captive in the Colombian jungle for one year now.

González said the officers "lived chained up all the day long, with chains on their necks they had to carry to do any activity," Efe reported.

"At night, the rebels tie the chains to a pole at the footrest," González told Bogota-based Caracol Radio from Caracas.
