RIP Comrades ... "At least 53 union leaders and representatives have been killed in Guatemala since 2007, according to the ‘2013 Countries at Risk: Violations of Trade Union Rights’ report by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC). In March 2013 alone, three Guatemalan trade unionists were murdered: on 8 March Carlos Hernandez, a member of the Executive Committee of the Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de Salud de Guatemala (SNTSG) was shot dead just days after the conclusion of an ILO technical mission in the country; Santa Alvarado, also a member of the SNTSG, was kidnapped on 21 March and later found strangled; and Kira Zulueta Enriquez Mena, General Secretary of the Sindicato de Trabajadores Municipales de Nueva Concepción in the department of Escuintla, was assassinated at the library where she worked on 22 March."
