Incredible news today. Ingrid Betancourt was rescued from her captors, Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia. She was kidnapped 6 years ago and was speculated to have died in captivity because of deteriorating health and no one had seen her since October.
In my first week in Paris, I went to Hôtel de Ville where there is a huge poster of Betancourt with a counter of the number of days that she has been held in captivity. This was when I first learned of her and the hope people had that she was alive. The photo is haunting and deeply sad. It was a photo taken by her captors to prove she was still alive.
This news is all over tv and Sarkozy is holding a press conference right now with Betancourt's children and family.
