BOGOTA: Pop star Shakira led nationwide demonstrations in her native Colombia yesterday demanding the liberation of hundreds of hostages held by rebels in the jungle for years.
Colombian ex-hostage Ingrid Betancourt staged a concert in Paris as part of the rallies. "No more hostages!" Betancourt chanted as she addressed a crowd of several thousand people who came to watch more than 30 artists perform in a square across the river Seine from the Eiffel Tower. Colombian star Juanes, Spain's Miguel Bose, and French artists Renan Luce and Michel Delpech were also present.
