FlickR Album: Peace for Colombia 2008-02-04

These are pictures I took on February 4, 2008 at the "Walk for the Peace of Colombia". It started and ended at Olympic Plaza, with a walk along Stephen Avenue Mall. It was quite cold, but everyone seemed quite enthusiastic, and determined to endure the bad weather.

From what I could gather, most of the participants, were from Colombia themselves and obviously had a stake in the situation. Protesters were calling for peace, and specifically an end to FARC, which engages in kidnappings, murders, and other crimes.
