Delegation update #1
Mining in the aftermath of Genocides in Guatemala

Mass graves that are filled with slaughtered Palestinian babies and children, boys and girls, women and men?

For 27 years Rights Action has run educational, fact finding and human rights delegations as part of our north-south education and activism work. Many of these previous trips had direct visits with the mining resistance, community defense struggles documented in Testimonio: Canadian Mining in the Aftermath of Genocides in Guatemala.

“Our privileges are located on the same map as their suffering, and may
– in ways that we prefer not to imagine – be linked to their suffering.
As the wealth of some may imply the destitution of others.”
Susan Sontag
