Another Colombian journalist forced to flee

A television journalist in Colombia has been put to flight after his house was fired on. Otoniel Sánchez, who works for CNC in Cartago, a city in the Valle del Cauca department, is the seventh Colombian journalist forced to flee since start of the year. Cartago is a dangerous place to be a journalist. Earlier this month a reporter with the radio station, Candela Estéreo, received a parcel bomb and, in February 2004, CNC's news programme director, Óscar Polanco, was murdered. (Via IFEX)
