The video discusses the suspension of a trial against five ex-paramilitaries accused of sexual violence against 36 indigenous Mayan women during the Guatemalan civil war. The Mujeres Hachí organization accuses military members of these crimes. The trial was delayed due to the absence of a defense lawyer. This case is significant as it is only the second of its kind to be judged in Guatemala. The accused attended the hearing via videoconference.
