Allegations / reports of ill-treatment

(AI Translated) After being physically assaulted, she is taken aboard a patrol radio vehicle to the courts where the intimidation and threats continue, as they tell all the people arrested that day: “you will have to pay the government damages, which are about 50,00 quetzales. See, you don’t have to be at the demonstrations; if you were educated you wouldn’t be here.”
