Colombia: Threat against journalists risks further undermining peace process with ELN - STATEMENT

Amnesty International
July 12, 2016

Dear all /// Estimad@s,

We’d like to share a public statement (attached and link below) this organization has issued on a threat received by Colombian journalists. The Spanish version will be distributed tomorrow and will be available at the same link.


" A death threat naming a journalist and a cameraman, received by one of them as a chat message on 8 July, will do little to move forward stalled peace talks between the government and the National Liberation Army (Ejercito de LiberaciĆ³n Nacional, ELN) if it is confirmed that the threat was indeed sent by the guerrilla group, Amnesty International said today."

Best /// Saludos,
