(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 prompted by complaints deemed unfounded by the Quintanal Campollo family, and involved the deployment of ten patrol teams 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 the elderly man Teófilo Castro Mejia. These people are part of a group of around 300 elderly workers who are demanding their rights to retirement and medical care from the Guatemalan Social Security Institute (IGSS). This struggle stems from more than thirty years during which the family owners 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, so their presence there is legitimate and does not constitute trespassing. On the contrary, the owners, the Quintanal Campollo family, have systematically attempted to evict them in order to expand their rubber plantation.
