Former Guatemalan dictator, Efraín Ríos Montt, was indicted on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity. His trial was briefly put on hold due to a legal technicality, but has resumed. What does this trial mean for human rights? Ted Asregadoo speaks to Truthout’s assistant editor, Alissa Bohling who has written about this trial and the human rights abuses in Guatemala.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $16,000 before midnight to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
