Waldemar Barrera, an Assistant Human Rights Procurator in Izabal Department, has reportedly received a series of anonymous telephoned death threats. The threats arise from an investigation by the Human Rights Procurator’s office into the apparent extrajudicial execution of radio journalist Jorge Alegría on 5 September. Waldemar Barrera, who heads the investigation, has reportedly publicly stated the names of those he believes responsible for the murder.
