One year on, where is Sandra?

At the time of her disappearance, Sandra was on her way to the National University in Palmira, Valle del Cauca department.

Her identity card and cell phone were found a few days later near the place where she was supposed to take a public bus.

According to her family, Sandra may have been approached by criminals close to her parents home. However, political motivations for her disappearance have not been ruled out.

Last year demonstrations were held in Colombia and messages of support were sent from around the world calling for the authorities to step up their search.
 
Despite these calls there has been no official response on the search for Sandra Viviana.

Please join Sandra's family, friends and colleagues in calling on the National Attorney General to provide an update on the status of the investigation and outline how she plans to proceed, one year on from Sandra's disappearance.
