Journalist Guillermo Cano Isaza
Born in Bogota (Colombia) on August 12, 1925, Guillermo Cano Isaza was assassinated December 17, 1986, at the entrance to the office of El Espectador - where he had served as the editor since the age of 27. The newspaper's building was destroyed in a bomb attack three years later. His career-long commitment to diversity of opinion and the circumstances of his death - he had called for firm measures to be applied against drug traffickers - symbolise the price paid by journalists throughout the world to violence.
