people signed. Let's get to 1,000!
Addressed to: Honorable Andrea M Simonton Chief Magistrate Judge Southern District of Florida and 5 more
That justice be done in the case of Mr. ANDRÉS FELIPE ARIAS LEIVA, former Minister of Agriculture of Colombia in the government of Mr. Ex President Álvaro Uribe Vélez, and for this we ask:
a) Deny request for Political Asylum
b) Do not grant bail
c) Approve and accelerate the request for extradition
The AGRO INSURED INSURANCE Program (AIS) was a program of the Colombian government that granted soft loans, non-reimbursable to medium and small farmers in Colombia. The program was designed and launched by the Ministry of Agriculture, which was headed by the Minister ARIAS. Mr. Ex Minister of Agriculture ARIAS was accused, called to trial, tried and convicted for PECULATION IN FAVOUR OF THIRD PARTIES AND ILLEGAL CELEBRATION OF CONTRACTS. He was sentenced to 17 years in prison for this case (AIS) being released on bail he fled to the United States requesting political asylum. As the Judges Estaudinences have stated, Mr. Arias represents "a serious risk of flight" because he has already violated a court order. The asylum does not proceed because he is a criminal who flew from Colombia to avoid complying with the society the sentence imposed. His bail is not possible because "in Colombia he was released on bail and he escaped" and the extradition is appropriate because as a criminal he deserves to be sent back to Colombia to serve his sentence.
The attempts made by the Colombian Government, some senior government officials of the current President Ivan Duque and some international organizations do not reflect the feelings of the majority of the people of Colombia that demand respect and requests through this petition that the treaties be complied with. international and the application of justice for this Colombian citizen to pay for their crimes and comply with Colombian society for the damage it caused to thousands of poor farmers by allowing divert resources from the AIS program to large landowners, rich families and partners politicians paying favours contrary to the original plan for which the program was created.
The decent people of Colombia
