Prosecutors in Guatemala say they have detained nine members of the military accused of killing peaceful protesters last week. Eight people were killed and 34 wounded after the military opened fire on a group of mostly indigenous Guatemalans who blockaded a highway to protest education policy, constitutional amendments and a massive rise in utility costs. According to the attorney general’s office, it is the first time members of the military have been prosecuted for abuses committed during a protest since the end of the Guatemalan dirty war in 1996.
