Guatemalan judge orders two high-ranking ex-generals to stand trial on genocide charges from four decades ago.
Manuel Benedicto Lucas and Manuel Antonio Callejas are accused in relation to massacres in the northern Quiche region, home to many Indigenous Maya.
In his ruling, Judge Miguel Angel Galvez authorized the trial on accusations the two former generals — Manuel Benedicto Lucas and Manuel Antonio Callejas — committed genocide, crimes against humanity and forced kidnapping from 1978 to 1982 in a case where more than 1,700 people were killed over 31 separate massacres. The killings took place in the country’s northern Quiche region, home to many Indigenous Maya.
In June, Judge Galvez separately charged six other ex-military members for their alleged participation in the death and forced disappearance of at least 183 civilians during the 36-year civil war.
