GUATEMALA: FREE BERNARDO, JAILED FOR DEFENDINGA SACRED RIVERAttorney General of Guatemala / Fiscal General de GuatemalaPublic Prosecutor's Office / Ministerio Público15 Avenida A 15-16, Ciudad. de Guatemala

Bernardo Caal Xol holds a whole people in his heart. He and the Maya Q’eqchi are a vital partof Guatemala’s heritage. They are peacefully protecting the land and water that make thecountry a unique global destination. Yet the hydro-electric power plants licensed to operatewithout their permission are disrupting their sacred Cahabón river, scarring the landscape,and destroying their way of life.

Bernardo only wants to ensure that the land and water are preserved for the future, yet he hasbeen smeared with baseless accusations and imprisoned for more than seven years on shamcharges. I urge you to drop all charges against Bernardo and free him immediately.

Yours sincerely,
