Hernando Calvo Ospina Biography

Hernando Calvo Ospina is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on June 6, 1961 in Cali, France. Hernando Calvo Olpina, a Colombian journalist, author, and director of several documentaries was born 6 June 1961. He currently resides in France.

He is an investigator who denounces state terrorism in Colombia and the aggressive politics of the United States towards Latin-America. On 18 April 2009, he found out that he was listed on the “No Fly List” of US authorities. The flight he was on was not allowed to fly over US airspace “for national security reasons”. Air France’s aircraft left Paris for Mexico City and did not stop in the United States.

On 22 September 2011 the French government denied him the French nationality. The letter sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs says that this decision was taken because of his “relationships with the Cuban representation in Paris” and “his proximity to the castrist ideology.” He was also reproached for having met members of the FARC “during his activities as a journalist” and for appearing on the “American list of persons who were prohibited to fly over the air space of the United States.”

On 6 May 2012 Calvo Ospina had to travel from Madrid to Havana with Air Europe, a Spanish company. Before receiving his boarding pass, a staff member took him to a man who presented himself as a civil servant of the US Embassy. The man was very straightforward and informed him that he could not go on that particular flight because it would be overflying the airspace of his country during 5 minutes and his name appeared on the No Fly List.

He was nominated in 2005 for the “Lorenzo Natali Media Prize”, by the European Commission. His article “Colombia” (Colombia como el Irak, un conflito privatizado) was published in Le Monde Diplomatique, November 2004. This award recognizes outstanding reporting on poverty eradication, inequality and human rights.
