Colombia's ex-president Uribe attends mass after release from house arrest

Former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe made his first public appearance by attending a mass in Sabaneta, Antioquia, a day after being released from house arrest.

A court in Colombia on Tuesday ordered the immediate release of former president Alvaro Uribe while he appeals a witness tampering conviction for which he was sentenced to 12 years of house arrest. Tuesday's decision by the Superior Court in Bogota means Uribe can move around freely while his appeal is considered. The court said it does not consider him a flight risk.
