A Colombian court provisionally orders newly sworn-in President Abelardo de la Espriella to hide or remove social media videos showing him walking among rows of dead bodies. The videos depict the president passing what the posts describe as the bodies of people alleged to be criminals, and they are associated with the president’s recent public messaging.
According to court documentation cited by outlets, the order is intended to address the continued availability of the graphic content online. France 24 links the case to De la Espriella’s early actions and a new offensive against armed groups involved in Colombia’s cocaine trade. Free Malaysia Today focuses on the court’s instruction to remove the posts showing the president in proximity to the bodies shown in the footage. Across reports, the dispute centers on whether the videos should remain accessible on social media following the court’s provisional ruling.
