WOLA and RFK Human Rights Concerned About Pre-electoral Conditions in Guatemala

Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights and the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) jointly present a comprehensive fact sheet outlining their deep concerns regarding the pre-electoral conditions in Guatemala. The fact sheet sheds light on the challenges faced by the country in ensuring a fair and inclusive electoral process. WOLA and RFKHR express their worries about the shrinking civic space, escalating persecution against justice operators, journalists and human rights defenders, and the lack of transparency and independence in the electoral institutions. These issues raise significant doubts about the ability of Guatemalans to exercise their democratic rights freely. If you are interested in learning more about the summary of their findings and concerns, we invite you to read the fact sheet below.
