Liverpool’s Luiz Díaz pleads for release of kidnapped father
Liverpool player Luis Díaz has pleaded for his kidnapped father to be released back to his family in Colombia.
Díaz made the appeal hours after coming on as a substitute and scoring a late equalizer during Liverpool’s 1-1 draw against Luton Town on Sunday.
Last week, a delegate for the National Liberation Army (ELN), a Colombian rebel group, said that they have Díaz’s father, Luis Manuel Díaz, captive and will release him “as soon as possible.”
“Every second, every minute, our anguish grows; my mother, my brothers and sisters and I are desperate, anxious and without words to describe what we’re feeling,” Díaz wrote on X, formerly Twitter, after the Premier League game.
“This suffering will only end when we have [my father] back home. I beg that they [the ELN] release him immediately, respecting his integrity and ending this painful wait as soon as possible.
“In the name of love and compassion, we ask that you reconsider your actions and allow us to recover him.”
