<p>The arrest of Seauxis Hernandez (Jesus Santrich) for allegations of drug smuggling
since the signing of the Peace Agreement is a significant challenge for all those
working to uphold the aims of the Havana accords. The British Ambassador in Bogota
has discussed the case with the Attorney General, and the Embassy are monitoring the
situation closely. In her statement on 19 April, Karen Pierce the UK Permanent Representative
to the UN Security Council made clear the importance of handling it in accordance
with the Peace Agreement. I understand that Mr Hernandez’s case will be reviewed by
the Special Jurisdiction for Peace. I welcome the joint message of commitment to due
process made by President Santos and FARC Party leader Rodrigo Londono following their
meeting on 11 April.</p>
