"With the families of reporter Julio Daniel Chaparro Hurtado and photographer Jorge Enrique Torres Navas present, a Friendly Settlement Agreement will be signed today [April 23] in Bogotá to offer reparations for their 1991 killings.
The event will include representatives from the Inter American Press Association (IAPA), the Foundation for Press Freedom (FLIP), Colombia’s National Agency for Legal Defense of the State, and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).
Chaparro Hurtado and Torres Navas, journalists for El Espectador, traveled on April 24, 1991, to the town of Segovia in the department of Antioquia to investigate a paramilitary massacre that took place there on November 11, 1988, in which more than 40 people were killed. That same day, after returning to their hotel, they were intercepted and murdered."
