Franklin Humberto Coral Garrido, known as Beto Coral, was a frequent online critic of far-right President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella, a Trump ally, in the run-up to Colombia’s election.
As we talk about a case that is quite remarkable, we’re joined right now in Bogotá, Colombia, by Beto Coral.
I was also targeted because I supported a different candidate than the one — that one picked by the United States government.
On the contrary, the United States Supreme Court has held that all people living in United States are protected by the First Amendment.
Beto Coral is a Colombian activist, political analyst, digital content creator, back in Colombia after being arrested and detained by ICE.
