Three Guatemalan indigenous leaders have been killed in separate incidents over the past week. The Altiplano Farmworker Committee said Monday the most recent victim was Mateo Chaman Paau, a leader of that organization. The group's statement said that Chaman Paau was killed Sunday night in the township of Coban, north of the capital. A day earlier, Luis Marroquin, a leader of the Farmworker Development Committee was killed in a bookstore in the Jalapa department. Vitoria Tauli, who is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous People, expressed concern last week about the vulnerability of Guatemala's indigenous.
