Alvaro Uribe - not welcome here

Canning House and the Institute of Latin American Studies have invited ex-Colombian President Alvaro Uribe to give a talk at Senate House on 31st October 2013. The decision to invite Uribe to talk by such prestigious institutions is troubling since it offers him undeserved moral legitimacy at a time when his eventual incarceration for serious crimes against the Colombian people looks increasingly likely. Sign the petition here to protest against the planned visit:
