Does Canadian government “always stand up for human rights” in Guatemala?
If so, will the Canadian government initiate an impartial investigation into systemic human rights violations (including killings and rape) linked to Canadian mining operations in Guatemala?

On July 13, 2022, the Canadian embassy in Guatemala tweeted:
Human rights defenders: protect and promote fundamental freedoms, strengthen the rule of law. In a meeting with these brave advocates for #Democracy and #HumanRights, Parliamentary Secretary Maninder Sidhu reiterated Canada will always #StandUp4HumanRights.
Encourage your Member of Parliament and officials with the Canadian Embassy to read TESTIMONIO: Canadian Mining in the Aftermath of Genocides in Guatemala.
Ask them: In order to always stand up for human rights, will the Canadian government initiate a full, impartial investigation into systematic human rights violations (including killings and rape) that have occurred in and around Canadian mining operations in Guatemala?
