This is Sebastian.

He is one of the few survivors of the four Rio Negro Massacres of 1982. He survived living in the mountains and running from the army for two years and three months. Then he survived prison and torture. This was in addition to losing the majority of his family in the aforementioned massacres.

He has been one of the driving forces behind the community efforts of Rio Negro and the pursuit of justice within the Guatemalan legal system.

Here, he is telling us about the massacre at Pacoxom, where 177 women and children were killed.
