The father of Liverpool star Luis Diaz has revealed details of his captivity - and said he intends to keep living in Colombia despite his ordeal.
Luis Manuel Diaz was released on Thursday after spending 12 days in the hands of guerrillas. During a press conference, the 58-year-old said his kidnappers had advised him to remain calm. He said he had 'almost 12 days without sleep' and had to endure 'a lot of quite difficult horseback riding, lots of mountains, rain'. 'Even though the treatment was good, I didn't feel very comfortable,' he said.
The government and the ELN began a six-month ceasefire in August. What happened to Diaz's parents? Luis Manuel Diaz and his wife Cilenis Marulanda were snatched by armed men on motorbikes at a petrol station in the town of Barrancas, in La Guajira, near the border with Venezuela, on Saturday October 28. She was rescued within hours after police set up roadblocks - but the whereabouts of her husband was unknown.
