Against the New McCarthyism: A NACLA Statement on Hollman Morris https://nacla.org/node/6670

NACLA denounces the State Department’s decision to deny a visa to Colombian TV journalist Hollman Morris. Morris was slated to receive the Samuel Chavkin Award for Integrity in Latin American Journalism, given by NACLA in recognition of his brave and uncompromising coverage of the armed conflict in Colombia. The visa denial appears to be intended to punish Morris for his reporting on the Colombian peace and human rights movement. With this, Washington has joined the Colombian government in tarring Morris as a “publicist for terrorism,” in the words of Colombian president Álvaro Uribe.
