Guatemala - Threats to trade unionists in Purulha (2013)

In January 2013, trade unionists at the Purulha municipality in Baja Verapaz brought a case before the relevant court on account of death threats they had received. However, not only were the workers not provided the protective measures ordered by the court but, in a note to the judge, the Minister of the Interior accused them of failing to attend a meeting to which they had not been called.
