In recent days, 11 people have been brutally executed by a violent gang in the village of Pajoques, located in Loma Alta, in San Juan Sacatepéquez, Guatemala. One of the killings was filmed on video. It shows a man who was tied to a stake being burned alive.

Best Gore member fascistheart provided great background information about the situation in Guatemala:

I’d like to share some of the problems that are happening in the Central American country of Guatemala. Former Marxist guerrilla factions are trying to come back, with the same terrorist tactics that they used in the 36 year civil conflict. First they attacked 7 members of the national police, shooting at them, then they massacred 7 members of a family in a different area of the country. One by one, like in the video, they were executed. The government has been trying not to attack the new resistance in fear that it would spark a new wave a bloodshed. They want to avoid war at all cost, and are talking with the international community, but their voices are not being heard. There is also a misunderstanding about the Guatemalan civil war. Unlike El Salvador, Guatemala decided to fight the war by themselves, instead of allowing for the invasion by the Americans. So the American government responded by imposing a weapon embargo on Guatemala. Thus, the government, regardless of what they do, receive criticism from both sides. Please follow the chronology of this new war. The world needs to know what is happening.

Thank you for the insight on the volatile situation in Guatemala, fascistheart. I also want give a shoutout to Best Gore member ridonkulous who if I’m not mistaken is from Guatemala too. He’s been a great supporter and helped the website and Mark on many occasions.

Props to fascistheart for the video:
