Head of UNESCO Deplores Killing of Colombian Woman Journalist
16 September 2015 – The head of the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has denounced the
recent killing of Colombian journalist Flor Alba Núñez Vargas.
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.
