Criminalization and Judicial Terrorism against Indigenous Peoples in Guatemala The recent arrests of two Maya leaders is emblematic of increasing repression and criminalization of Indigenous peoples by the Guatemalan state. Giovanni Batz writes in NACLA of the recent arrests of the Indigenous Maya leaders, Luis Pacheco and Héctor Chaclán, and places these events within the context of the current regional wave of mass incarceration and global criminalization and detention of activists, and Indigenous and oppressed peoples.
