Argentine leftists to pay tribute to 'Mono Jojoy'
Leftist organizations in Argentina plan to pay tribute to slain FARC commander "Mono Jojoy" on Friday.

The meeting is organized by the Bolivarian Continental Movement (BCM), a Caracas-based political organization with ties to Colombian guerrillas.

According to a press release, "voices of protest and rejection over the assassination sound worldwide."

The Argentine chapter of the BCM organizes the tribute to show its solidarity with the FARC, Colombia's second largest guerrilla group ELN "and the entire popular movement that is fiercely repressed with mass disappearances, torture, chainsaws, mass graves and false positives."

"Mono Jojoy" was killed last week when Colombian armed forces bombed hsi jungle camp. He was the FARC's military commander and assumed number two of the organization considered terrorist by the United States and the European Union.
