Guatemala: Deputy Refuses to Leave Country
GUATEMALA - An opposition Guatemalan deputy
informed of a plan to kill her has refused
to leave the country, as suggested.
Government Minister Carlos Menocal, and the
head of the International Commission against
Impunity in Guatemala, Carlos Castresana,
notified the legislator for Encuentro por
Guatemala, Nineth Montenegro, of that
possibility.
The lawmaker herself made it public, while
Menocal and Castresana considered it is an
attempt to carry out an action that
generates commotion and problems to the
government.
As a result, they suggested her either to
leave the country or have security
guarantees.
Montenegro, who has decided for the second
choice, offered no details of the plot to
kill her, but stressed she refuses to
abandon Guatemala.
The legislator said she never did so even in
her most painful moment, when her husband
was kidnapped in 1984, during the internal
armed conflict. |
