On Monday, a court in Colombia convicted former President Alvaro Uribe on witness tampering charges. To some Colombians, Uribe is a national hero who walked the country back from the edge of collapse, while others view him as a ruthless strongman who undermined their democracy, enabling human rights violations along the way. Sergio Guzman is director of Colombia Risk Analysis. He spoke to Host Marco Werman from Bogota about the trial.
