Land activists María Antonia Asencio Velásquez and Romero López Muñoz of the Montufar community in the municipality of Amates, Izabal have been subjected to a series of death threats from people connected to the company El Botiquín. Following the killing of fellow land activist Pedro Méndez Gutiérrez on 1 February 2003, Amnesty International is extremely concerned for their safety.
