Liverpool winger, Luis Diaz as broken his silence following the search for his kidnapped parents in Colombia, with the star urging people to march to call for the release of his father.
Less than twenty-four hours before Liverpool’s 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest at Anfield, Diaz was informed that his parents had been abducted on Saturday night.
Since then, the kidnappers have released his mother Cilenis Marulanda, but it is still unclear where his father Luis Manuel is.
According to The Mail, on Instagram, Diaz posted a picture of Luis Manuel alongside information about an upcoming march in Colombia.
The post invited the ‘whole community’ and urged them to ‘bring your candle to light the light of hope, with the image ending with the urge to the captors to ‘free him now’.
Supporters were seen carrying white balloons and yelling for Diaz’s father’s release during the march in their hometown of Barrancas, based on video footage released.
