Guatemalans Reject OAS Report
posted (September 5, 2016)

But if that investigation is by the BDF, it’s going to run into trouble on the Guatemalan side.  That’s because the Guatemalan Government has officially rejected the last investigation - that one into the shooting death of 13 year old Julio Ruano. Â President Jimmy Morales made it official at a press conference today.  Appearing alongside his Vice President and the Ministers of Defence and Foreign Affairs, Morales said “the report is inconclusive and it should have had criminal implications for those responsible for the death of Guatemalan child.â€￾

They point to what they call “inconsistenciesâ€￾ and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Raul Morales said that he will ask the OAS to remove Magdalena Talamás who dealt with the report for her organization.

We note that two international experts from Mexico and the USA compiled the report.
