Report of fact-finding visit - "Cúcuta, dangerous crossroads for the Colombian press"
Reporters Without Borders issues a report on the plight of the press in Cúcuta (in northeastern Colombia) following a fact-finding visit there on 9-10 February. It was here that Julio Palacios Sánchez of Radio Lema was gunned down on 11 January. A microcosm of the country's conflicts, Cúcuta shows how dangerous it is to be a journalist in Colombia.
