Colombia's Peace Commissioner Luis Carlos Restrepo talks to reporters at the presidential palace in Bogota March 27, 2008. Colombia will free hundreds of guerrilla fighters if rebel leaders release politician Ingrid Betancourt, who is in ill health after being held hostage for years in secret jungle camps, the government said. President Alvaro Uribe signed a decree late on March 28, 2008 allowing the massive release of guerrillas from jail if French-Colombian Betancourt, kidnapped during her 2002 presidential campaign and ailing from hepatitis B, is set free, Restrepo told reporters.
