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 Liberación Nacional, ELN) if it is confirmed that the threat was indeed sent by the guerrilla group, Amnesty International said today."

Best /// Saludos,
