"Nine years have passed since journalist Norma Sancir was arrested by the National Civil Police (PNC, by its Spanish acronym) and jailed for five days while covering a community protest in Camotán, Chiquimula [Guatemala]. Three agents and a commissioner are now being prosecuted for abuse of authority. The defense has maintained a strategy of delaying the trial, which has now been suspended 14 times.
The trial against agents Marcelina López Pérez, Mirna Marleny Ortiz, Olga Leticia Segura, and retired police commissioner Ceferino Salquil Solval is scheduled for June 28.
The four are accused of having arrested journalist Norma Sancir on Sept. 18, 2014."
