Guatemala Releases First Report on Abductions of Children in 1980s

Guatemala’s army was responsible for 92 percent of child abductions during the country’s brutal 36-year civil war, according to a recent report released by the Archdiocese of Guatemala. The 200-page report, based on information from interviews with parents and relatives of 86 children, marks an unprecedented step by the Guatemalan government to discuss the forced disappearances of children.
