Protesters have taken to the streets of Guatemala City just days after the country’s top court overturned a genocide conviction against the country’s former military leader, citing irregularities in the case.
Efrain Rios Montt, who was previously sentenced to 80 years in prison, will get a second chance in court, and many are worried that justice will not be served.
