Ricardo Palmera, also known as Simón Trinidad, is a Colombian citizen extradited to, and sentenced in, the United States of America. His status as a US prisoner is a bilateral issue between Colombia and the United States. There are currently no plans to meet his legal representatives.

We welcome the significant progress made in the peace process, including the FARC's laying down of arms.
