Testimony of Rosa Elbira: Gang-rapes at a Canadian-owned mine in Guatemala

Rosa Elbira and 10 other Mayan women were gang raped by security personnel at a mine in Guatemala during a violent eviction requested by Canadian mining company HMI Nickel (now owned by Canadian company HudBay Minerals). Rosa tells their story.

Rosa and her fellow survivors have started a lawsuit in Canada against HudBay Minerals and its Canadian subsidiary HMI Nickel to seek reparations for the harms suffered by them.

I've sent a message to Amnesty International about this case.

HUD BAY Minerals & HMI NICKEL - both Canadian Mining companies, with offices in Toronto. Remember those names! They are denying all legal & moral responsibility. Write to them & strongly protest.
