Colombia: FLIP warns about the advance of judicial harassment by former prosecutor Néstor Humberto Martínez against journalist Cecilia Orozco

"On July 14, the Foundation for Press Freedom (FLIP) warned about the progress of the lawsuit for libel and slander that is being pursued against the director of Noticias Uno and columnist of the newspaper El Espectador, Cecilia Orozco, which was filed by the former Attorney General of the Nation, Néstor Humberto Martínez, in 2019.
