Guatemala Campesinos still Protest
More than 100 campesino families, who have been occupying the Central Park in Guatemala City since the last week, expressed their willingness to continue protesting despite the series of health problems suffered by some demonstrators.

At least six people were taken to hospitals for diarrhea and vomiting while ten others temporarily left for different diseases.

Despite adverse climate conditions, protestors said they will remain camping until the government meets their demands.

They want land and justice for those responsible of the kidnapping of their leader Hector Perez Reyers.

These people were violently evicted from southwestern Nueva Linda farm in August 2004, an action that resulted in nine campesinos dead, among them three minors.
