Guatemala: Reactions to Arrest Warrant for Ex-Dictator

Patrick has a good roundup of reaction to Spanish judge Santiago Pedraz's warrant for the arrest of Rios Montt ^[1] based on charges of genocide while Montt was dictator of the country. Rob Mercatante points out ^[2] that the news is “receiving very little attention from the media outside of Guatemala.” Otto Boye and Arturo Durán celebrate contemporary Latin America's lack of dictators (Es) ^[3] and describe Montt as “responsible for the most recent holocaust; that directed against the Mayan population.”
