Trade union leader Pedro Zamora Alvarez has been killed in the town of Puerto Quetzal, in Escuintla department, southern Guatemala. Since his death, several of his colleagues, including Oscar Gianni González Donado, Lázaro René Reyes Mata, Max Alberto Estrada Linares and Eulogio Obispo Monzón Mérida, have reportedly received anonymous phone calls threatening them and their families with death within nine days. Amnesty International believes that their lives are in serious and imminent danger.
