(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. Ten patrols from the National Civil Police (PNC), approximately twenty-five officers, and two armored vehicles from the Army were deployed in this response. The objective of this operation was to arrest four individuals, including the elderly Maria Teresa Barrera Canastuy, who are part of a group of around 300 elderly workers demanding their rights to retirement benefits and medical care from the Guatemalan Social Security Institute (IGSS). This struggle arose after more than thirty years during which the property owners had deducted the required contributions from the workers but never paid them to the IGSS. The people arrested were all local workers who had been born and raised on the estate; therefore, their stay there was legitimate and did not constitute unlawful occupation. On the contrary, the Quintanal Campollo family had systematically attempted to evict them in order to expand their rubber plantation.
