Video Violacion Ingrid Betancourt Por Farcl







































A video leaked on Sunday, August 27th of a Chilean journalist being interviewed by the Colombian government. The journalist, Farcl, is seen asking the questions in Spanish while Ingrid Betancourt responds with answers in English. Despite what might seem like a normal interview to most, Farcl is actually asking her if she violated her early release agreement for Colombian prisoners of war by making videos about amnesty talks with other Colombians who are not part of this deal. The interview was an attempt to prove that Betancourt broke her promise to never speak publicly about these talks. BETANCOURT: I am not saying I am the only one, but yes, it is important to express your opinion and we must be very decisive and we must speak for ourselves and we must speak without fear. We have to think about what we want and if we get an answer then it is very good, but if not then I think that's OK too. So what? End of the video: "I was released from prison on May 9th, 2004 after having served five years of my sentence in Colombia. I return home to serve my country. I will not be silent. Thank you." The video was leaked by the Colombian government, who tried repeatedly to obtain a copy of the videotape before it became public. They released the news because they were trying to discredit Betancourt before she left for Canada after being freed from prison. "Soraya's Song" is a song written by David Fonseca and Jorge Drexler for Ingrid Betancourt, often sung by Argentine singer Victoria Acuña during her trips to Paraguay. The lyrics of "Soraya's Song" are about the kidnapping of Ingrid Betancourt, and describe her life during it. The song was written in her honor because the writer, Drexler, has a daughter named Soraya (who is not mentioned in the song). The song was released on 16 December 2003 and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment. It was re-released on 8 June 2004 under EMI Music Distribution. The second version contained a new acoustic mix and a duet with Fonseca. Betancourt said that she listened to the recording every day during her captivity. The song sold 200,000 copies in just three weeks. It was #1 on the "Billboard" charts in Argentina for 8 consecutive weeks. It was later translated into English by Argentine author Norman Gimbel, titled "I'm Alive", and recorded by Betancourt with Fonseca. To this day it is still her favorite song.
