Ms Ramona Margarita Domingo Díaz:

As my comrade said, there are no legal certainties around our struggles as indigenous people in Guatemala. Instead, on the part of the state, we see and face oppression because of the co-opting of the justice system and other state bodies. We see the rights of indigenous people repressed, leaders and members are jailed and many human rights defenders are in exile outside the country or have had to go to other countries to get justice. There is no responsibility regarding the guarantee of human rights for those of us who are engaged in defending our territories.
