Jan. 26:
Relatives of Mayans killed in genocide during the Efrain Rios Montt dictatorship in Guatemala watch his hearing in a Guatemala City courtroom.
Riots Montt is being charged with genocide and crimes against humanity after a court decided there was enough evidence to charge him. One of the cases they considered was the deaths of 1,700 ethnic Mayans, who were killed in a single ‘counterinsurgency’ operation during the Guatemalan Civil War.
He was armed by the U.S. during this period, which means the U.S. is also responsible for genocide.
