Uribe humbly retracts terrorism accusations against journalist

Senator Alvaro Uribe, one of Colombia’s most divisive politicians, on Friday retracted terrorism accusations made against one of his political enemies, journalist Hollman Morris.

In an unprecedented act of humility, the hard-liner Uribe retracted his long-held claim that the leftist Morris was a terrorism apologist.

Morris has received international acclaim for his reporting on the armed conflict in his home country, mainly through a television show called Contravia and the documentary film Impunity.

However, the journalist’s reporting on human rights violations and impunity for politicians and family members of Uribe linked to paramilitary groups, made him one of the then-President’s main political liabilities.
