HC Deb 10 December 1990 vol 182 cc281-2W
Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made concerning killings and disappearances in Guatemala, in particular those listed by Amnesty International.

Mr. Garel-Jones

We and our EC partners have regularly made clear to the Guatemalan Government our serious concern about human rights abuses. In the past year, British Ministers have raised human rights three times with Guatemalan Ministers, and our ambassador has raised the plight of street children. He and his EC colleagues have also made representations about the shootings at Santiago de Atitlan on 2 December.
