Efrain Bamaca

A new website/blog has been set up regarding the case of Efraín Bamaca, featured here before, which includes all the documentation relating to the case. The site also includes a declaration by Jennifer Harbury, relating to the case.

The website is titled, The truth of the Bamaca case: What does the military fear? What indeed.

The site will be of interest to those who want to see how justice can be denied in Guatemala. It is all in Spanish.

We recently posted an item about Jennifer Harbury, in which in a recording of a talk she gave, she updates us on the status of the case of her husband. She has been pursuing the truth in the case of Efrain Bamaca for eighteen years now. In  her talk she mentions that her case, and several other important ones have progressed recently. However, we are concerned that the appointment of the new Attorney General, Conrado Reyes, may lead to the cases being stalled again if he does not encourage them to be resolved. Our friends at the Guatemala Human Rights Commission in the United States have set up a petition addressed to the Attorney General asking him to ensure these cases keep progressing. You can sign up to the petition here. If you are reading this and are resident in the US, you can find the US version of the petition here.
