US embassy cable - 03GUATEMALA1907

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: VIOLENT STREET PROTESTS OVER--FOR NOW 
 
REF: GUATEMALA 1906 AND PREVIOUS 
 
As of 1700 local time, police and media sources confirm that 
the pro-Rios Montt street demonstrations have ended. 
Television broadcasts show the areas around the various court 
buildings previously occupied by protesters are now deserted. 
 The buses that brought the protesters into the capital are 
now carrying them back into the interior.  While this round 
of demonstrations is over for now, protests could emerge 
again as Rios Montt's legal case proceeds through the courts.
