Who was Diana Turbay? The Journalist Kidnapped by Pablo Escobar and Mother of Miguel Uribe

Diana Turbay was a prominent Colombian journalist and the daughter of former Colombian president Julio César Turbay Ayala. Known for her fearless reporting and strong stance against drug cartels, she was kidnapped by Pablo Escobar's men in 1990. A failed rescue attempt by Colombian police led to her tragic death in 1991. Her son, Miguel Uribe, followed in her footsteps as a presidential candidate, continuing her fight against drug cartels. Recently, Miguel Uribe was critically injured in a shooting during a rally in Bogota, with a 15-year-old suspect arrested. His wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, has urged the public to pray for his recovery. Diana Turbay's legacy remains a poignant reminder of Colombia’s turbulent past under Pablo Escobar’s reign.
