Guatemalan anthropologist Myrna Mack was killed after denouncing the government against indigenous people

34
years ago

11 September 1990,

Guatemalan anthropologist Myrna Mack was killed when she moved from work to home. They gave him 27 knives. This woman showed that the operation of moving thousands of indigenous people from their homes to other peoples was carried out by the Government of Guatemala and the army in a plan against subversion.

The government argued that this was a robbery action, but police José Manuel Mérida Escobar investigated on his own and showed that it was a military disaster. Merida police were soon murdered, but the investigation imposed a 30-year prison on General Noel Bet Álvarez.
