Guatemala: Swift Charges Against Soldiers for Killing Protesters | Mike Hitchen Online: i On Global Trends: Source: Human Rights Watch
President, Cabinet Should Refrain From Interference in Case
The prompt and comprehensive investigation by the prosecutor’s office into killings at a recent protest in Totonicap�n is an important step toward accountability in Guatemala, Human Rights Watch said today.
At a news conference on October 11, 2012, Attorney General Claudia Paz y Paz announced charges against an army colonel and eight soldiers for the deaths of 6 protesters on October 4. Paz said that arrest warrants were issued following an investigation conducted by 125 agents from her office, who collected testimony from 150 witnesses and extensive forensic evidence from the crime scene including spent shell casings, tear gas canisters and blood samples, and carefully studied pertinent photographs and videos.
