Pablo Emilio Moncoya, held prisoner by the FARC for the past 12 years, was released today in Florencia, Colombia. He was a teenager when he was taken hostage in 1997 and is only in his early 30's now.
While he was in captivity his father walked over 700 miles in the jungle, in chains, in an effort to secure his release.
I don't know if this story is getting any coverage in the U.S., but it's all over the news here.
It's a pretty amazing story, and a very happy day for his family!
