** Inter-American Court of Human Rights Hears Case on Indigenous Peoples’ Freedom of Expression in Guatemala on June 9 -10!
------------------------------------------------------------
On June 9-10, 2021, at 10:00 am EST - 3:00 pm EST, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights will hear the case Indigenous Maya Kaqchikel Peoples of Sumpango vs. Guatemala. This hearing comes after decades of activism by Indigenous community radio stations in Guatemala fighting for their freedom to exist and broadcast information in Indigenous languages to their communities. The hearing will be transmitted live on the Inter-American Court of Human Rights Facebook page ([link removed]) . The Court will hear testimonies from representatives of Indigenous community radio stations, experts on the right to freedom of expression and Indigenous rights, and representatives of the State of Guatemala.
In Guatemala, Indigenous Peoples continue to experience discrimination when exercising their right to freedom of expression. In 1995, as part of the Guatemalan Peace Accords, the Accord on the Identity and Rights of Indigenous Peoples was signed into law by the Guatemalan State, where it committed itself to reform the country’s telecommunications law to allow for the access of radio frequencies to Indigenous Peoples without discrimination.

Del 9 al 10 de junio de 2021, a las 10:00 am EST - 3:00 pm EST, la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos escuchará el caso Pueblos Indígenas Mayas Kaqchikel de Sumpango vs. Guatemala. Esta audiencia se da después de décadas de activismo por parte de estaciones de radio comunitarias Indígenas en Guatemala que luchan por su libertad de existir y transmitir información relevante a sus comunidades en idiomas Indígenas. La audiencia se transmitirá en vivo en la página de Facebook ([link removed]) de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. La Corte escuchará testimonios de representantes de radios comunitarias Indígenas, expertos en libertad de expresión y derechos Indígenas y representantes del Estado de Guatemala.
En Guatemala los Pueblos Indígenas siguen experimentando discriminación en la aplicación del derecho de libertad de expresión, en el marco del reconocimiento de la radio comunitaria. En 1995 se firma el Acuerdo Identidad y Derechos de los Pueblos Indigenas y el Estado se compromete a reformar la ley de radiocomunicaciones para facilitar frecuencias radioeléctricas a los Pueblos Indígenas sin discriminación.
