This is a major sign of justice and living up to the terms of peace accords. I only wish that Rios Mont doesn't stand trial himself - not only his foot soldiers that did his dirty deeds!

Posted by Kevin at August 4, 2011 04:50 PMI have read several accounts in English and Spanish of the crimes for which these men were sentenced. Absolutely horrific.
It's good to finally see some progress.
Thank God that some reponsibility is being assigned for some of the atrocities that were so prevalent in that era! Go get Rios Montt next!!
