Violence against indigenous peoples continues unabated. The Indigenous people of Guatemala have just lived through another massacre in their territories, which has led to the declaration of another state of emergency by the government of Otto Pérez Molina. The acts of violence started on the evening of September 19th, when, according to the communities, armed actors entered their territories and identified themselves as workers with Cementos Progreso, they opened fire and killed a member of the community delegation that was in the area, killing him. That began a cycle of violence that has, up until now, caused eleven deaths and injured various people, and which has dramatically aggravated the conflicts that exist in the region.
