Journalist Edwin Paxtor has suffered intimidation and death threats. These have escalated since he reported the alleged assault of four youths by members of the Criminal Investigation Service of the National Civil Police, Servicio de Investigación Criminológica (SIC) de la Policía Nacional Civil (PNC) in July, in the Department of Chiquimula, Southeast Guatemala. He also alleges that members of the SIC have been obstructing his work for the last two years.
