Clara Rojas

Clara Leticia Rojas González (born December 20, 1964) is a Colombian lawyer, university lecturer, and campaign manager for former senator and presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt.

According to reports, the FARC had placed the child in custody of a peasant family, and he could not be found in time for the scheduled hostage release.

According to the Institute of Legal Medicine of Colombia, the test verified that he is in fact Clara Rojas' son.

Emmanuel had become ill as a baby, and Rojas had allowed her son to be taken to a doctor for care on the condition that he would be returned to her.

After being temporarily suspended, Operation Emmanuel resumed, and on January 10, 2008, a humanitarian commission headed by the International Committee of the Red Cross flew in two Venezuelan helicopters to a location in Colombia that FARC had designated the previous day.
