Néstor Osuna
Néstor Osuna is a Colombian lawyer and politician, known for his role as the Minister of Justice under President Gustavo Petro's administration. He has been a key advocate for progressive legal reforms in Colombia, focusing on human rights and social justice. His work includes the promotion of laws aimed at reducing the stigma around incarceration, particularly for marginalized groups, and he played a significant role in the passage of the 2023 Law 2292, which allows single mothers in prison to work during the day.
