Excerpt:

Radio Journalist Libardo Montenegro’s death has been ruled a homicide, the
Foundation for Press Freedom (FLIP) confirmed following a briefing with
Nariño municipal authorities.

Montenegro, 42, dedicated himself to covering the region’s peace-related
issues, among a number of other topics. A television interview on the
morning of his death revealed he was organizing a meeting for “the defense
of life and human rights in Samaniego.”

He was well liked in his profession and had worked tirelessly as a
journalist for some 20 years. His final tenure was with Samaniego Estereo,
a member of the Community Radio Stations for Peace and Coexistence project
supported by the European Union. The movement works towards the
“construction of a Culture of Peace in the Territories."
