Anthropologists Face Threats and Intimidation
The Lawyers Committee for Human Rights
expresses concern for the safety of the staff of the Forensic Anthropology
Foundation of Guatemala (FAFG). Members of the FAFG staff have been subjected
to repeated threats and acts of intimidation in recent months and have
recently received a written death threat warning them not to carry out
their work.
Letter states in part: “The
work of the FAFG is crucial to uncovering the truth about human rights
violations that occurred during the internal armed conflict. Its work
should be supported by your government and its staff members protected
from threats and intimidation.”
