-snip- from the Catholic Archbishop

That's what Camilo did then on March 15, one year ago he publicly declared that he was not going back, he submitted himself to the army and they immediately arrested him. He was determined however also tried to resist the war by declaring his deepest beliefs that this war is wrong and that all war is wrong. and so he chose to submit a request for conciencious objector status and I was involved with him in that and was able to testify for him.
