Head of UNESCO deplores killing of Colombian journalist

The head of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has denounced the recent killing of Colombian journalist Flor Alba N

Ms. Vargas, 25, was killed on 10 September in front of the building of La Preferida Estero radio station in Pitalito, Colombia, where she presented a daily news programme. She had also worked for television broadcasters Canal6, TV5 and Nación TV.

“A free press and a free society go hand in hand, attacks on the one weaken the other, so I urge the authorities to do everything to investigate this crime and bring those responsible for it to justice,” said UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova.

Statements issued by UNESCO on the killing of media workers are posted on a dedicated webpage.
