VOICED : Guatemala: 90 anos de prision por masacre de embajada de Espana

A Guatemalan court sentenced police chief Pedro García to 90 years for the 1980 Spanish Embassy fire, which killed 37 people. However, he will serve only 30 years due to the maximum penalty at the time. The incident involved a guerrilla operation where the group chose self-immolation over surrender. Families of the victims held a ceremony during the trial. The fire occurred after indigenous people, campesinos, and students occupied the embassy to protest military repression. García was captured in 2011 for the 1981 disappearance of student Edgar Saenz, for which he received a 70-year sentence.
