Demand that the Guatemalan Government to stop the criminalization and dispossession of communities and urge authorities to:
-
Defend the interests of small-scale farmers;
-
Ensure the working class have access to basic necessities such as food, shelter and safety;
-
Uphold the rights of Indigenous communities to land and to free, prior and informed consent in regard to their territories;
-
Cease the criminalization of human rights and land defenders and guarantee their legal protection.
