For his part, Juan Grabois, one of the members of the International Mission who was attacked by the Migration authorities in Bogota, thanked the solidarity expressed by several human rights organizations.
"We ask the Colombian and Argentine authorities to watch over the physical integrity of our Mission", said Grabois in a video from Lima, capital of Peru.
