Open letter to the General Prosecutor on the Atmosphere of Intimidation in the Case of Diana Díaz

The Foundation for Press Freedom (FLIP) publishes this letter addressed to the General Prosecutor of the Nation, to express its concern over the use of illegitimate, unnecessary, unjustified and disproportionate mechanisms in the investigation of the Prosecutor's Office against Diana Díaz, who denounced a case of censorship in Colombia's public media system.

The initiation or advance of investigations by the Prosecutor's Office against journalists, sources, the media and collectives who use their freedom of expression to inform or comment on matters of public interest, can create an atmosphere of fear and self-censorship.

FLIP also requests a meeting with the General Prosecutor as soon as possible, to further understand the details of his concerns in the face of pressures to informants of journalistic investigations.
