Liverpool striker Luis Diaz has addressed the National Liberation Army (ELN), which kidnapped his father and is holding him captive.
Getty Images- It's not a footballer speaking to you today, it's Lucio Diaz, the son of Luis Manuel Diaz. Manuel, my father, is a tireless worker, our family's mainstay, and he has been kidnapped. I ask the ELN for my father's speedy release and I ask international organisations to intervene in his release.
Every second, every minute, our suffering is increasing. My mother, my brothers and I are desperate, upset, and we have no words to describe what we are feeling.
This suffering will only end when we bring him home. I ask you to release him immediately, respecting his integrity, and end this as soon as possible. In the name of love and compassion, we ask you to reconsider your actions and allow us to take him back," said Luis Diaz.
Earlier, unknown people kidnapped Luis Diaz's parents, but the criminals released the footballer's mother and kept his father in captivity. Recently, it became known that the footballer's father had been kidnapped by the left-wing radical organisation, the Army of National Liberation.
