The Colombian Supreme Court ruled that a politician who had referred to a journalist as a “child rapist”, “abuser of children” and a “child pornographer” on Twitter had violated the journalist’s right to honor and reputation. The tweets were in response to articles in which the journalist had mocked the name of the newborn daughter of a congresswoman. The Court held that the language used by the politician was not a proportionate way to defend the rights of the congresswoman’s daughter and unjustifiably infringed the fundamental rights of the journalist.
