Colombia must reveal full list of journalists and other 'military targets'
by Adriaan Alsema July 1, 2020
A judge on Tuesday ordered Colombia’s Defense Ministry to release all the army’s intelligence files on journalists, lawmakers and Supreme Court magistrates.
Opposition House Representative Katherine Miranda (Green Alliance) successfully sued the defense ministry, demanding it disclose the full content of the intelligence operations against at least 130 civilians, including at least 52 journalists.
So far, media have disclosed only part of the “secret files” prepared by military intelligence units that targeted journalists, at least one Supreme Court magistrate, members of the military, lawmakers and President Ivan Duque‘s former chief of staff.
