Rory Carroll, Guardian On a Sunday night in 1998, Bishop Juan Gerardi, Guatemala''s leading human rights activist, was bludgeoned to death. Two days earlier, a Church-sponsored report had implicated Guatemala''s government in the disappearances of 200,000 civilians. The Church, feeling that it could not rely on the legal system, took the controversial decision to assemble a team of men, Los Intocables (The Untouchables), to take down Gerardi''s killers. |
