On Monday, May 20, 2013, Anselmo Xunic (Kaqchikel Maya), Guatemala Community Radio Program Manager for Cultural Survival and longtime Indigenous community radio activist, meet with James Anaya, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples during the 12th Session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York. The meeting with Rapporteur Anaya was a long-awaited opportunity for Xunic and the community radio movement to put a face on their struggle at the international level.
On Monday, May 20, just ten days after the historic conviction of ex-dictator José Efraín Ríos Montt to 80 years in prison for genocide and crimes against humanity, the Constitutional Court of Guatemala has thrown out the ruling.
