Guatemala – Rios Montt to Face Re-Trial for Genocide
- 9 years ago
A Guatemalan court has ruled that former dictator Efrain Rios Montt must stand re-trial for genocide but ordered that it take place behind closed doors because he has dementia. The 89-year-old general who ruled the country from 1982 to 1983 is accused of ordering the army to massacre more than 1700 Ixil Mayans. teleSUR
