Journalist Disappears in Colombia

Photojournalist and filmmaker, Rodolfo Flórez, has been missing for 20 days. In addition to heading a foundation that teaches film and media projects to young people, Flórez worked with several local media outlets in Buenaventura, Valle del Cauca. The Buenaventura Journalists’ Union stated that Flórez hadn’t received any threats, but some speculate that his disappearance is related to his collaboration with a national TV channel that has published some of his work. José Félix Ocoró, the mayor of Buenaventura, told local media that he has personally ordered the police to establish a search unit to quickly aid in the location of Flórez.
