Corrupted Public Prosecutor's Office orders arrest of Semilla Party members
Attacks intensify against elections and favored Semilla Party

33 days to go to August 20th run-off vote
Festivales Solidarios (@festivalesgt) reported that Guatemala’s corrupted Public Prosecutor's Office ordered the arrest of Semilla Party members Cinthya Rojas and Jaime Gabriel Gudiel, for the alleged crimes of continued ideological falsehood and continued illicit association. [link removed]


“Lawfare”
With the appearance of “legality”, the US & Canadian-backed Covenant of the Corrupt government continues to use the legal system as a weapon of war, increasing attacks on the elections and on the Semilla Party itself, to prevent the August 20 run-off election.

Rights Action continues our calls for Americans and Canadians to share this information widely (including media outlets), and to directly contact your Senators, Members of Congress and Parliamentarians, and urge them to make public statements and bring all pressures to bear on the Guatemalan authorities to ensure that the electoral process proceeds transparently and peacefully and that the Semilla Party is allowed to participate fully with no further attacks of any kind.

As the regime continues with its strategies to ‘criminalize’ the Semilla Party, it is misguided to rule out the use of State repression against the general public and/or targeted attacks against members of the Semilla Party as August 20 approaches.
