Timeline
Guillermo Cano Isaza (12 August 1925 – 17 December 1986) was a Colombian journalist.
The editor of El Espectador between 1952 until 1986, he was assassinated in Bogotá in what was widely seen as an attack related to his criticism of Colombia's drug barons.
Guillermo Cano was the heir of Fidel Cano Gutiérrez, the founder of El Espectador.
As a journalist, he had worked on the paper's bullfighting, sports, cultural and political sections.
He had served as the editor of El Espectador since from 1952 until his death.
On 17 December 1986 as Guillermo Cano Isaza was leaving the offices from El Espectador in his Subaru Leone, one of two hitmen on a motorcycle across the street at a stoplight opened fire at Cano with an Uzi shooting Cano 4 times in the chest, causing him to lose control of the car and crash into a light pole.
The hitmen quickly fled the scene and he was rushed to a hospital where he died shortly before 7 pm.
It was assumed that the attack was in response to a campaign Cano had launched in the paper years earlier to denounce the influence of drug traffickers in the country's politics.
Three years later, the El Espectador's building was destroyed with a 300-pound bomb, Cano's family lawyer was murdered, and the Cano family summer house was burned down.
In an October 1995 ruling, four individuals (María Ofelia Saldarriaga, Pablo Enrique Zamora, Carlos Martínez Hernández, and Luis Carlos Molina Yepes) were found guilty of conspiring to commit his murder and sentenced to prison terms of 16 years, 8 months.
However, on appeal the convictions of all but Molina were overturned.
In 1997, UNESCO created an annual prize that bears his name—the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize—which serves to honour a person or institution that has done outstanding work in defending the freedom of the press.
In 2000, he was named one of International Press Institute's 50 World Press Freedom Heroes of the 20th century.
Cano is portrayed by the Colombian actor Germán Quintero in the TV series Escobar, el patrón del mal.
