Did You Know?
> 2011 was the most violent year for human rights defenders in Guatemala since the end of the civil war. NISGUA's teams of on-the-ground international human rights monitors work to deter violence in communities, courtrooms and at public events. > Former dictator Efrain Rios Montt, who ruled during the bloodiest period of the war, is awaiting trial for genocide and crimes against humanity. > The Xalalá hydro-electric dam is rejected by 89% of the local population because it would displace thousands of indigenous people and damage farmlands and forests. > Almost 400 mining concessions have been granted to transnational gold, silver, nickel, and zinc companies in Guatemala, posing severe threats to rural communities' social and environmental well-being. | |

Solidarity Update
The Solidarity Update is a bi-monthly activist publication available for free.
NISGUA offers this newsletter for free to encourage solidarity actions, solidify
support for our campaigns, and raise awareness on Guatemala. The publication
offers information and analysis about current issues in Guatemala pertaining
to human, indigenous and labor rights; socio-economic justice and democracy;
and legislative issues in the United States that apply to Guatemala. The SU
also provides a space for our activists to share information on local upcoming
events or their own experiences with Guatemala and social justice. Although
the publication is free, we do welcome all donations to support production
of the Solidarity Update. Click on the appropriate link below to read past
issues, sign up for a free subscription, or make a donation in support of the
