Colombia mulls locking up dangerous criminals on prison ships

Colombia's new government is considering a plan to house highly dangerous criminals on prison ships at sea. This move is part of President Abelardo de la Espriella's tough stance on armed groups in the country, which is the world's largest cocaine producer. The plan aims to reduce crime and violence in Colombia, but it raises concerns about human rights and the treatment of prisoners.

Why it matters

Colombia's new government is taking a hard stance on crime, which could lead to increased stability. This move may improve investor confidence in the country's ability to maintain law and order.
