Suffering from the dementia of the ex-dictator Guatemalas will be judged, but without punishment
Former Guatematic dictator, 89-year-old Efrain Rios Montt will appear before the trial on charges of genocide, despite the fact that he suffers from dementia. Previously, doctors recognized him incompetent, but the court will nevertheless take place with some restrictions. Mont, who headed the country in 1982-1983, is accused of giving an order for the mass murder of 1700 Mayan Indians. In 2013, the court found him guilty , but the verdict was canceled on procedural grounds.
