Alert: Indigenous Protesters Blockading Mine Owned by Vancouver-based Goldcorp Assaulted, Taken Hostage in Guatemala

On February 28, 2011, approximately 50 Indigenous men and women from Mayan communities affected by Goldcorp’s Marlin Gold mine in San Marcos, Guatemala, were attacked and taken hostage by a group of individuals said to have "strong ties" to the Vancouver-based mining company. As of March 1, 2011, the illegally detained men and women have still not been released...FREDEMI reports: "[C]ommunities took action to pressure the government of Guatemala to carry out the Precautionary Measures MC-260-07 granted by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which include the temporary suspension of Marlin mine...We denounce the horrible practice of the mining company."
