How Colombia's far-right TV personalities get people killed
by Adriaan Alsema July 30, 2021
Colombia’s migration agency illegally detained and expelled a German citizen after media personalities embarked on a stigmatization campaign that got one person killed.
Senator Maria Fernanda Cabal of President Ivan Duque‘s Democratic Center party was among the most prominent politicians who took part in a stigmatization campaign against German citizen Rebecca Stroesser who was illegally expelled from Colombia on Wednesday.
Stroesser published pictures of anti-government protests she took part in with friends after they erupted in late April while she was on holiday in Cali, Colombia’s third largest city and caught the eye on the media, particularly notorious far-right personalities.

The notoriously dishonest director of radio station La FM, Luis Carlos Velez, grilled Stroesser about her participation in the protests, denying her constitutional right to take part.

Colombia´s migration authority violated the rights of a German citizen by detaining and expelling her after she openly supported ant-government protests, according to a former Constitutional Court president.
Following public indignation about the expulsion and 10-year entry ban imposed on German tourist Rebecca Sproesser, migration chief Juan Francisco Espinosa said the decision “counts on all the judicial support.”
This is false, according to former magistrate Jose Gregorio Hernandez, who told foreign journalists that Espinosa’s office violated Sproesser’s constitutional rights.

The Americas director of Human Rights Watch, Jose Miguel Vivianco, additionally said that the migratory norm used to expel the German from Colombia “contradicts international standards because it allows the expulsion of a foreigner who is legally in the country without guaranteeing the right to have his or her case reviewed by a competent authority.
Sproesser was arrested on Tuesday after filing a report with the prosecution in Cali over an assassination attempt that followed a far-right stigmatization campaign last week.
