VOICED : Guatemala: entierran victimas de masacre del 82

The video discusses the tragic events that occurred in the Maya community of northern Guatemala, where 31 victims were massacred by the army during the civil war. It details the events of February 4, 1982, when a bomb was detonated in Quiché, leading to the burning of homes and people in the Ixil village of Secax. Only eight victims were identified through DNA testing. The community has pursued a genocide trial against former dictator Efraín Ríos Montt, who was initially sentenced to 80 years in prison, but the verdict was annulled due to procedural errors. A new trial is set for January 2015. A UN report attributes over 90% of the war's deaths to state forces, with a significant portion being Maya descendants. The community has awaited the exhumation of victims' remains for over four years to finally close their mourning period.
