More bad news from #Guatemala. Attorney General Consuelo Porras is transferring Hilda Pineda, who has successfully led the Human Rights Prosecutor's Office of the @MPguatemala for several years, bringing complex war-time cases to trial, to another unit. Thread. I met Pineda in 2012 when she was an assistant prosecutor working on the Maya Ixil genocide case against former dictator of Guatemala, Efraín Ríos Montt, under then Attorney General @ClaudiaPazyPaz.

🔴#Peru A slow-motion coup is underway in Peru. 🧵 A member of JNE, the elections board, has resigned tho he legally cannot do so, preventing the JNE from having a quorum. This bad faith procedural maneuver is intended to prevent Pedro Castillo from being formally proclaimed the winner of the June 6 presidential elections .

Cientos de militares en retiro firmaron esta carta dirigida a los jefes del @CCFFAAPERU afirmar la gran mentira de #KeikoFujimori que hubo fraude y llamándolos a intervenir para prevenir que asuma un presidente “usurpador”.

By my count, in the context of #Peru's 2nd round elections, this is 3rd Ministry of Defense communique clarifying the non deliberative nature of the military. This statement denounces the use of official military insignia by former officials who served under #Fujimori in 90s. Those ex military officials are pushing the narrative of #KeikoFujimori that the second-round vote was fraudulent. No evidence of fraud has been found, by int'l observers or by #Peru elections officials.

Two-time president of #Peru Alan Garcia was about to be arrested as part of a preliminary investigation into corruption when he locked himself in a room and shot himself. All of Peru’s ex presidents are in jail or under investigation for corruption. larepublica.pe/politica/14513… García, who is 69, is under investigation in Peru over allegations of bribery tied to the sweeping Odebrecht corruption scandal. He has carefully evaded prosecution for many serious accusations of corruption during both presidencies (electric train, petro audios, etc).
