MONTREAL (AP) — Two activist groups on Wednesday called for Canada’s government to prosecute a man believed to be living in Canada who they say was involved in the massacre of more than 200 people in Guatemala in 1982.
The Canadian government has been attempting to strip former Guatemalan soldier Jorge Vinicio Sosa Orantes of Canadian citizenship since 2017 on the grounds that he was an active participant in the massacre and lied about his role when he applied for citizenship.
In documents filed in federal court, Sosa Orantes has said he was not even in the village of Las Dos Erres when the killings took place.
