(AI translated) In the early hours of the morning, a massive and disproportionate police intervention took place at the Hacienda La Asunción estate, located in the San Gregorio Piedra Parada district of the municipality of Coatepeque. The operation was initiated in response to complaints deemed unfounded by the Quintanal Campollo family, and involved the deployment of ten patrols from the National Civil Police (PNC), approximately twenty-five officers, as well as two armored vehicles from the Army. The goal of this operation was to arrest four individuals, including Regina Francilia Barrera Darios, the daughter of one of the estate’s defenders. These people are part of a group of around 300 elderly workers who are demanding their rights to retirement benefits and medical care from the Guatemalan Social Security Institute (IGSS). This struggle arose after more than three decades during which the estate’s owners had deducted the required contributions from the workers but never paid them to the IGSS. The people arrested are local laborers, all born and raised on the estate; therefore, their presence there is completely legitimate and does not constitute any form of occupation. On the contrary, the Quintanal Campollo family has systematically attempted to expel them from their homes in order to expand the rubber plantation.
