The killing of a Colombian human rights activist has sparked calls for an urgent investigation into his death.

Reports say Jhonny Hurtado, 59, was shot dead on Monday at his farm near La Catalina, in Colombia’s Meta region.

The farmer had recently spoken to a British delegation of union activists and labour campaigners about alleged rights abuses in the area.

The delegation said it is “deeply saddened” and has urged the government to bring those responsible to justice.
