Piedad Cordoba is a controversial figure in Colombia, an outspoken advocate for peace talks with the country's left-wing rebel groups. She has in the past managed to convince the Farc to unilaterally release some of its hostages. But her negotiations with the rebels have also earned her sharp criticism, especially when she conducted some of them without the government's blessing, a move for which she was banned from public office for 18 years. It's not the first time she's been threatened, but her lawyer said this time she received information about an imminent plan to kill her.

Piedad Cordoba在哥伦比亚是具有争议的人物。她是与左翼反叛分子进行和平对话的直言不讳的拥护者。她过去曾经成功劝服Farc释放几名人质。但是她与叛军的谈判也使她受到严厉的批评，尤其是她在没有政府同意的情况下采取行动。因为她的举动，她被禁止担任公职18年的时间。这并不是她第一次受到威胁，但是她的律师表示，这次她收到消息，有人计划立即将她杀害。
