24. On May 7, journalist Bedoya Lima entered the penitentiary center with “a visitor’s pass to enter as a relative,” since entry was restricted. 19 There, she was threatened by inmates, who told her that if she did not leave the penitentiary they would kill her, and that her publications had annoyed several people who were supposedly members of paramilitary groups. 20 25. On May 9, envelopes containing photocopies of the articles published by the newspaper about the Model Prison massacre were found in the mailboxes of El Espectador journalists Jineth Bedoya, Jorge Cardona, Julián Ríos Rojas, and Ignacio Gómez Gómez. Lines related to paramilitary groups and law enforcement authorities were highlighted. 21 These threats were reported to the National Police. 22 B. The events of May 25, 2000 26. On the night of Wednesday, May 24, 2000, Jineth Bedoya Lima received a call from an individual who called himself “Ramiro,” who informed her that a person held in the National Model Prison known as “El Panadero” wanted to meet with her. They arranged an interview for the following day, May 25, at 10:00 a.m. at the prison headquarters. Alias “Ramiro” assured the journalist that the then warden of the prison was aware of the interview and that he had already authorized the journalist’s entry at the specified time. 23 27. On May 25, the journalist went to the supposed appointment with “El Panadero,” accompanied by the newspaper's legal affairs editor, Jorge Cardona, a photographer, and their driver. The photographer and the driver waited in the vehicle, while Jineth Bedoya and Jorge Cardona went to the main entrance of the prison where they were assisted by the guard on duty at the information booth. After a while, the guards informed Jineth Bedoya that her entry pass was ready, so she went to her colleague, Jorge Cardona, and asked him to go to the vehicle that was parked one block away from the prison to call the photographer. 24 At that moment, Jineth Bedoya was approached by a woman who asked her if she was the journalist. At the same time, a man approached her and asked if she was the one who was going to the interview with “El Panadero.” When she answered in the affirmative, the man held her by the arm and pointed a gun at her, warning her that if she screamed she was going to kill the people who had come with her, including “the guy with the mustache,” referring to Jorge Cardona. The man led her on foot to a warehouse near the prison, where two more men were waiting. 25 Annex 9. Office of the National Prosecutor General. UNDH. Supplemental statement of Jineth Bedoya Lima.
