Journalist Threats by Westcol: Urgent Call for Investigation and Protection

2024-02-10 04:17:20

In the last few hours, the streamer Westcol intimidated and threatened journalist Juan Manuel Capera of the Última Hora Colombia media, with a harassing call that he himself recorded during a live broadcast, to demand that he rectify a headline. “As a result of the above, Juan Manuel Capera began to receive intimidating messages and had to close his social networks and change his phone number. The case was known to Flip,” the media outlet wrote.

Added to this reprehensible fact, two journalists from PUBLIMETRO COLOMBIA were also insulted by Westcol through their account on And after that, being the first and saying it with pride, you make me feel very important, beautiful mom, in that profile photo she looks very pretty.” “Hahahaha Madam, that photo is a MEME like from 2015, how am I going to catch a buzzard hahahaha On the other hand, journalists in this country are a joke hahahaha, imagine studying a career as a journalist and then ending up making headlines for a content creator HAHAHAHA ”.

In response to their mockery, followers of the streamer have threatened to kill the reporters in several posts on social networks.

“WHEN THE TIME IS CONFIRMED, 7PM, SHIT IS GOING TO GET UP. WE ALREADY KNOW WHERE HE LIVES AND ALSO WHERE HIS GRANDCHILDREN STUDY. TODAY, HIS HOUSE IS BACK TO HIS HOUSE, BAD SHIT, OLD CARE HAPPENS. CAREFULLY, ARMED GROUP LOS ESTALLADOS.” “RIP.” “He’s already in a better place.” “Take care”.

Likewise, they exposed the personal data of the reporters: workplaces and all their social networks. “If you want, we can filter your number.” “Hello. We are the armed group Petare Gang, whose objective is to take down any enemy walking in the mountains of Colombia and Venezuela. If this continues I will have to send my hitmen to go kill her with Glocks 19 and M4. Take care”.

From PUBLIMETRO COLOMBIA we strongly reject the death threats directed at our journalists, made by followers of the streamer WestCol.

We urgently call on the Attorney General’s Office to investigate these threats, since there are already at least three journalists who are victims of the influencer and his followers.

Likewise, we ask for respect and security guarantees for journalistic work, a fundamental pillar for a free and informed society. That is why we urge all audiences to surround and protect our work.
