Date Subject Stakeholders Verification Report Status N.002 17-April-2017 Complaints NGO Coalition A letter from an NGO Coalition was received related to which presents several accusations against Clarified human rights REPSA. A first response was provided which can Case See be read here (in English): See document document Regarding the points set out in the NGO letter, each of the accusations has been documented and we proceed to clarify them below. 1. Accusation of polluting La Pasión River In 2015, two events of pollution and fish mortality occurred in La Pasión River, located in Sayaxché. When referring to these facts, the Minister of Environment of Guatemala has expressed the following: See video An independent explanation of what happened in the two events, by the Society of Biologists of Mexico is attached. See video See publication Likewise, in its publication No. 147 dated April 1, 2016, ContraPoder magazine opens up the hypothesis that the contamination of the river during the second event was caused by the dumping of chemicals used in the manufacturing of drugs in clandestine laboratories. The weekly magazine bases its hypothesis on a study from the CNA and the University of The Marine Corps of the United States- "The Dilemma of Lawlessness"- that suggests a strong context of drug trafficking in Sayaxché. See document In addition, the journalist Harris Whitbeck interviews Yuri Melini, Executive Director of the Center for Environmental and Social Legal Action (CALAS by its initials in Spanish) who in his opinion shares the hypothesis of ContraPoder. Links to Harris Whitbeck’s and ContraPoder magazine’s reports are provided: See video See publication 2. Professor Rigoberto Lima Choc case. Derived from the fish mortality event of June 6, 2015 on La Passion River, a movement of Sayaxché settlers, which included Professor Lima Choc, publicly denounced the pollution. Three months later, in an act of violence, Professor Rigoberto Lima Choc lost his life, and different hypotheses emerged among which, without any evidence, REPSA was singled out. See publication Almost two years later, a local media published the statements of relatives of Professor Lima Choc in relation to this fact. See video Also in relation to this case, the President of the Community Council of Urban and Rural Development (COCODE) of Champerico, where Professor Lima Choc comes from, said the following: See video It is important to indicate that, regarding this case, to date there is no legal process in which a formal indictment against REPSA has been filed. At various times, REPSA has spoken out publicly in the mainstream media, journals, radio, and TV- of the country, rejecting its involvement in this unfortunate crime. See REPSA ad See signed document where REPSA proves that it is not under investigation 3. Accusation of kidnapping members of the National Council of Displaced Persons (CONDEG by its initials in Spanish). Three months after the events in La Pasión River, tension reached its peak. On the one hand, a group of activists was inciting violence by promoting the closure, encroachment and burning of palm plantations. See video On the other hand, in the face of the evident threat of closure of the company and loss of its sole source of income, several REPSA employees, their families and members of the surrounding communities that depend on REPSA, blocked national highway CA14 at km 355, La Torre village, approximately for a 12-hour period. Because of this measure, people traveling though that highway had to cross the blockade on foot to continue their way. It was then that protesters identified among passersby some members of CONDEG, systematic opponents of palm oil, who were retained by the crowd and released after approximately 8 to 10 hours. From the beginning of the blockade and in the face of the actions taken by the demonstrators, the company sought the intervention of the Human Rights Ombudsman, the Departmental Governor, and the National Dialogue System, to request the protection of all people. This is the testimony of two officials who intervened in the situation. See Jesus Gomez’s statement See Jorge Giron’s Declaration 4. Mission Visit of November 11, 2016 (Read complaint N.001 below) N.001 March 2016 Public Friends of the 1.

See Report In this case, REPSA employees have been accused of interrupting, blocking, and confronting the members of the delegation. However, the activity report of the commission contains no indication whatsoever of intimidation or threats by REPSA or its representatives, as some stakeholders assert. Certainly, it is well known that some of our employees participated in this meeting, who were invited as representatives of the Community Councils of Urban and Rural Development, in free exercise of their civil rights See list of participants. The local press and the organizers recorded and reported this event. These recordings document the development of the event and it can be verified that no interruption or intimidation by the company REPSA, its officers or employees, occurred.

In relation to the above, Ezequiel Cruz’s video statement, who is a representative elected before the National Council of Urban and Rural Development, is attached. (CONADUR) See video 2.

  • Terrorist and Organized Crime Groups in the Tri-Border Area (Tba) of South America
    TERRORIST AND ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS IN THE TRI-BORDER AREA (TBA) OF SOUTH AMERICA A Report Prepared by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress under an Interagency Agreement with the Crime and Narcotics Center Director of Central Intelligence July 2003 (Revised December 2010) Author: Rex Hudson Project Manager: Glenn Curtis Federal Research Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 205404840 Tel: 2027073900 Fax: 2027073920 E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://loc.gov/rr/frd/ p 55 Years of Service to the Federal Government p 1948 – 2003 Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Tri-Border Area (TBA) PREFACE This report assesses the activities of organized crime groups, terrorist groups, and narcotics traffickers in general in the Tri-Border Area (TBA) of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, focusing mainly on the period since 1999. Some of the related topics discussed, such as governmental and police corruption and anti–money-laundering laws, may also apply in part to the three TBA countries in general in addition to the TBA. This is unavoidable because the TBA cannot be discussed entirely as an isolated entity. Based entirely on open sources, this assessment has made extensive use of books, journal articles, and other reports available in the Library of Congress collections. It is based in part on the author’s earlier research paper entitled “Narcotics-Funded Terrorist/Extremist Groups in Latin America” (May 2002). It has also made extensive use of sources available on the Internet, including Argentine, Brazilian, and Paraguayan newspaper articles. One of the most relevant Spanish-language sources used for this assessment was Mariano César Bartolomé’s paper entitled Amenazas a la seguridad de los estados: La triple frontera como ‘área gris’ en el cono sur americano [Threats to the Security of States: The Triborder as a ‘Grey Area’ in the Southern Cone of South America] (2001).

  • A Guatemalan Genocide
    1 General Efrain Ríos Montt and the Silent Holocaust: A Guatemalan Genocide Presented to the Faculty of the History Department at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo by Ana Paula Pereira March, 2014 © 2014 Ana Pereira 2 For my family and the thousands of Mayan people affected by the war, May the pain and suffering you endured be remembered 3 There is no doubt that [the Nazi Holocaust] is... the greatest and most horrible single crime ever committed in the whole history of the world. - Winston S. Churchill (1944)1 Even though the Genocide Convention of 1948, created by the General Assembly of the United Nations to prevent future genocides after World War II, was convened to prevent this horrific crime from taking place in the future, genocide has been a reoccurring crime in our global community, famous examples being Rwanda, Armenia and Yugoslavia.2 More than 50 million people have fallen victim to genocide in the twentieth century alone.3 Another lesser known example of genocide, what is sometimes referred to as the “Silent Holocaust,” took place in the countryside of Guatemala between 1978 and 1983. Under the reign of General Efraín Ríos Montt, the bloodiest period in Guatemala’s history was commanded from March 1982 to August 1983.4 During Ríos Montt’s 17-month presidency, his armies wiped out large portions of the Mayan population: an estimated 70,000 were killed or disappeared under his counterinsurgency campaigns, which systematically attacked 626 villages.5 More than 30 years later, Ríos Montt’s victims are finally beginning to see justice.
