Prominent Colombian journalist Hollman Morris was denied a visa to the U.S., reports The Progressive. In April, documents came to light which apparently revealed security agency DAS's)(US FUNDED) plot against Morris, including a plan to "request suspension of visa."

The Progressive reports that Morris' visa was denied on June 16. He applied for the visa in order to take up his place as International Neiman Fellow at Harvard University.

Morris, an outspoken critic of the Colombian government, was one target of DAS's surveillance of a range of individuals and organisations considered to be opponents of Alvaro Uribe's government, including opposition politicians, human rights workers, and Supreme Court judges.
