Ingrid Betancourt Pulecio ((:ˈinɡɾið βetaŋˈk(o)ur(t)); born 25 December 1961) is a Colombian politician, former senator and anti-corruption activist. Betancourt was kidnapped by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) on 23 February 2002 and was rescued by Colombian security forces six and a half years later on 2 July 2008. The rescue operation, dubbed Operation Jaque, rescued Betancourt along with 14 other hostages (three United States citizens and eleven Colombian policemen and soldiers). In all, she was held captive for six years after being taken while campaigning for the Colombian presidency as a Green. She had decided to campaign in the former "zone of distention", after the military operation "Tanatos" was launched, and after the zone was declared free of guerrillas by the government.〔(Pastrana viajó a la región recuperada por el ejército )〕 Her kidnapping received worldwide coverage, particularly in France, where she also held citizenship due to her prior marriage to a French diplomat. She has received multiple international awards, such as the Légion d'honneur. In 2008 she received the Concord Prince of Asturias Award. After her release, she was portrayed by some of her fellow captives as 'controlling and manipulative'; others described her as a person with a caring and courageous nature.〔(Vidéo Pinchao-betancourt de redactiontf1 (Actualité - redactiontf1) - wat.tv )〕〔(Infierno verde.

Her mother, Yolanda Pulecio, a former beauty queen famous for sheltering abandoned children, served in Congress〔 representing poor southern neighborhoods of Bogotá. Her father, Gabriel Betancourt, was a minister of Education in both liberal and conservative governments (President Rojas Pinilla, President Lleras Restrepo), the assistant director of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), then ambassador of Colombia to UNESCO in Paris,〔 and head of the education commission of the Alliance for Progress in Washington, D.C. under John F. Kennedy. After attending private school in France, a boarding school in England as well as the Liceo Francés in Bogotá, Betancourt attended the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris (commonly known as Sciences Po). She is currently a doctoral student in theology at Harris Manchester College, Oxford. After graduating, Betancourt married French citizen Fabrice Delloye in 1983,〔Betancourt, 35.〕 and they had two children, Mélanie (born 1985) and Lorenzo (born 1988). Through her marriage she became a French citizen.〔 Her husband served in the French diplomatic corps, and the couple lived in multiple countries, including Ecuador, the Seychelles and the United States of America. In the mid-1990s, Betancourt and Delloye divorced. Betancourt went back to Colombia and became advisor to the Minister of Finance, and later to the Minister of Foreign Trade. In 1994 She was elected to the House of Representatives on an anti-corruption ticket, and in 1998 she entered the Colombian Senate. Her children Melanie and Lorenzo moved to New Zealand to live with their father due to death threats stemming from her political activities. She married Colombian advertising executive, Juan Carlos Lecompte in 1997. Their marriage ended soon after her 2008 rescue.〔http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/americas/07/10/betancourt.husband.ap/index.html Betancourt's husband admits icy reunion - CNN.com]〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Íngrid Betancourt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
