Dr. Francisco Santos Calderón

Vicepresidencia
Carrera 8A No 7-27
Bogotá
Colombia

Dear Vice-president Santos,

I am concerned for the safety of Hollman Morris, the director and presenter of the investigative television programme CONTRAVIA, who has received deaths threats from a paramilitary group, the previously unknown Frente Patriótico Nacional. Please take action to guarantee the well being of Hollman Morris, and provide him with adequate protection in accordance with his wishes, so he can continue his work in safety. Please order an investigation, both into the threats made against Hollman Morris, and into the links between the security forces and paramilitary groups. The results of such an investigation could be made public and those responsible brought to justice.

Sincerely and Respectfully,
