Media and campaigners did disservice to Michael Dwyer

IN THE months after his death, Michael Dwyer was unfairly traduced across the media. Of that now, there can be little doubt.
Dwyer was shot dead by Bolivian security forces in the city of Santa Cruz in the early hours of April 16, 2009. The Bolivian government claimed that the 24-year-old Tipperary man had been part of an assassination squad intent on murdering the prime minister, Evo Morales. The circumstances of his death have been highly disputed.
