This is Guatemalas Mayan genocide. This does not only happen in Guatemala, it happens everywhere where the government decide that their own people are their enemies. In Plan de Sanchez 110 innocent people were killed because of the governmental policy. Guatemala needs international pressure to start looking in to these cases. The government is still abusing the indigenous people, and still carrying out political murderer.
More people are in immediate danger for the same reason.
The Guatemalan government just does not respect human rights at all, definitely not the rights of their indigenous population and those who work for them. One of the aims of archaeology is to explain the past, and it should not matter if the past was BC or only last decade. Forensic work in Argentina helped to convict people responsible for mass-killings, carried out by the ruling junta's deathsquads two decades ago. In Guatemala, however, things are a little bit more complicated. Much more work should be done there so that the government knows that whatever they do to their people, there will always be ways of finding out the truth - through forensic archaeology.
