The Winter 2024 edition of El Quetzal, from The Guatemala Human Rights Commission (GHRC), has recently been published. It features an interview with Juan Francisco Sandoval, who was the head of the Special Prosecutor’s Office Against Impunity (FECI) from 2015 to 2021. As President Bernardo Arévalo’s administration approaches a year in office, the human rights situation in Guatemala remains extremely fragile.
