Luis Diaz's father has been missing for five days since being kidnapped and new update has emerged via Colombian government
Colombia's last remaining rebel group have been named as those responsible for kidnapping Luis Diaz's father on Saturday night.
Today's statement added: "To the ELN we demand the immediate release of Mr. Luis Manuel Diaz, and we remind them that it is their entire responsibility to guarantee his life and integrity. We remind the ELN that kidnapping is a criminal practice, in violation of International Humanitarian Law, and that it is their duty in the development of the current peace process, not only to stop carrying it out, but also to eliminate it forever.
According to an AP report from the time: "The ceasefire agreement, announced June 9 during talks in Havana, comes amid skepticism among some Colombians that the peace process can fully end an insurgency dating back to the 1960s or halt the alleged involvement of the group’s estimated 5,000 remaining members in drug trafficking. The ELN leadership denies involvement in the drug trade."
Diogo Jota opened the scoring in the 3-0 win on Sunday, racing to the touchline and holding up a Diaz no.7 shirt as a gesture of support following his goal. Jurgen Klopp also offered a message of support, adding after the match on Sunday: "How can you make a football game really important on a day like this? It's really difficult. I never struggled with that, it was always my safe place. But it was impossible to do that , so we had to give the game an extra sense. That was fighting for Lucho."
