A Story of Murder and Denial in Colombia

Join Maria McFarland Sánchez-Moreno, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, to hear about her new book, There Are No Dead Here.

It’s an unforgettable portrait of the valiant men and women who dared to stand up to the tide of greed, rage and bloodlust in Colombia, risking everything to reveal the collusion between the new mafia and much of the country’s military and political establishment in the late 1990s. They are Jesús María Valle, a human rights activist; Iván Velásquez, a quiet prosecutor who took up Valle’s cause; and Ricardo Calderón, a dogged journalist who is still being targeted today. Their groundbreaking investigations landed a third of the country’s Congress in prison and fed new demands for justice and peace that Colombia’s leaders could not ignore.
