The leader said that he contacted the organization Reporters Without Borders, which replied that it had no official record of the Lira case or of an alleged disappearance related to cases of freedom of expression.
Ahumada assured that the College will continue to carry out efforts despite the fact that Lira is not a journalist – he is a writer and filmmaker – since he was performing functions of communicator and disseminator of information through social networks.
