Colombia's 'Aguilas Negras' declare journalists 'military objective'
by Adriaan Alsema September 26, 2019
Nine journalists from southwest Colombia were declared “military objectives” on Thursday in a general threat to journalists signed by far-right group Aguilas Negras.
According to the pamphlet that appeared in southwest Colombia, “we have already demonstrated to the candidates, journalists and supposed social leaders that we are exterminating them.”
. . .
The far-right group has been sending death threats to journalists, community leader for years and more recently to candidates in local elections.
Nevertheless, the authorities formally deny the existence of the far-right group many believe is linked to the military.
