VOICED : Mujeres Nobel del a Paz demandan cese minero en Guatemala

Four Nobel Peace Prize winners, including Rigoberta Menchú, called for an end to mining activities in Guatemala, citing environmental harm and the criminalization of communities opposing these projects.

The mine is temporarily suspended due to legal actions following complaints about ignoring community consultations and indigenous opinions. Local residents continue to resist, facing police repression and arrests.
