Colombian journalist gets his U.S. visa

Colombian journalist Hollman Morris has received the authorization to enter the U.S. and take up his Nieman fellowship at Harvard University. This decision by the State Department responds to a campaign launched by press freedom organizations, like the Committee to Protect Journalists, and academics. Hollman Morris who has been exposing the links between rightwing paramilitaries and the outgoing conservative Uribe government had been accused of "links with the FARC guerillas", an accusation rejected by most neutral observers as a ploy of the government to defame and discredit its opponent.
