Guatemala Outside In

Guatemalan Congresswoman, Nineth Montenegro in her recent visit to the UK has strengthened the recent campaign to publicise the increasing impunity in Guatemala, especially the violence against women. In a recent interview with BBC Mundo, Nineth Montenegro underlined the seriousness of the current situation and lack of political will on the side of the Guatemalan Government to tackle the problem.

Montenegro's visit follows that of Guatemalan journalist, Marielos Monzon to the UK when Amnesty International gave her the 2005 Human Rights Journalism under Threat Award. Her interview with the BBC is here.
