Former Senator Piedad Cordoba announced Wednesday that within weeks she will have news on the release of 21 members of the security forces held by guerrilla group FARC.

The former Senator, suspended from Congress for her alleged ties to the guerrilla group, told family members of hostages at a meeting that on August 3 she will reveal details about a unilateral hostage release.

"Once the guerrillas keep their word and surrender the hostages, the government will sit down with them," Cordoba told the family members.

According to the politician, the FARC will release the hostages unilaterally.
