Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will make representations to his US counterpart to ask for the repatriation of Simon Trinidad.
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.
