Interior Minister Luis Fernando Velasco said the situation was "very serious" and that it violated a ceasefire between the government and the rebels.
Diaz's father will be released "as soon as possible," ELN representative Juan Carlos Cuellar told a community meeting, in a video clip shared by the ELN with Reuters. "We remind the ELN that kidnapping is criminal, violates international humanitarian law and that its duty in building the peace process is not just to stop but to eliminate it forever," Otty Patino, head of the government's peace delegation, said in a statement.
