The movement towards justice for victims of crimes against humanity and genocide in Guatemala, is seriously being undermined, warned Amnesty International in a statement released this week.
Condemning the recent annulment of a genocide case against the former president, Amnesty’s Guatemala researcher, Seebastian Elgueta, said,
“Victims of Rios Montt’s crimes have been fighting for justice for more than three decades and now are again facing numerous obstacles created to deny them that justice. Guatemala owes a debt of justice to those victims, as well as the rest of the estimated 200,000 victims of the conflict.”
