Leftist politician Gustavo Petro almost became president of Colombia last month. But the killing and threatening of his supporters is making a future run virtually impossible.

One of the latest victims of the deadly violence that is targeting all kinds of social leaders was Ana Maria Cortes from Caceres, a small town in the northwestern Antioquia province.
