Feb. 26 (UPI) -- Two candidates for Colombia's Congress were reported missing this week, less than two weeks before the March 8 legislative elections for the Senate and House of Representatives.
Ana Libia Guetio, a House candidate for the Special Transitional Peace District in the department of Cauca, has been missing since the night of Feb. 25, the local newspaper El Espectador reported.
Her campaign team said they lost contact with her about 8:40 p.m. while she was traveling from the municipality of El Tambo to Morales after carrying out campaign activities.
"We have serious concern because the area where contact was lost poses high risks for social leaders," said Eduin Mauricio Capaz, human rights coordinator of the Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca.
