Former Guatemalan police chief Pedro Garcia Arredondo was found guilty Monday of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and crimes against humanity for his role in the 1980 burning of the Spanish Embassy in Guatemala City, which left 37 dead, most of them indigenous peasants. Garcia was sentenced to 90 years in prison. Many Guatemalans see the case and the verdict as a step toward justice in addressing crimes committed by the military dictatorship. teleSUR http://multimedia.telesurtv.net/v/ex-guatemalan-police-chief-found-guilty-in-burning-of-spanish-embassy/

4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Claude Misson, Spanish Ambassador to Belgium:
"I must say that they had an heroic death in the sense that they tried to see if there were other people trapped and they could help. Apparently they couldn't get out it was the fumes probably or they were intoxicated, we will have to see the results of the medical examinations. But I mean this is what we regret most is the loss of these two people's lives. As for the material damage we will have to see the causes but it all seems to indicate that it was accidental. There could be type of other causes but we will have to see after a closer examination of the premises."
5. Various of embassy staff
STORYLINE:
A Spanish police officer and a firefighter died and several other firefighters were injured on Thursday evening in a fire at the Spanish Mission to the EU in Brussels.
Brussels Mayor Freddy Thielemans said the cause of the blaze which set the diplomatic compound alight just past 8 pm (1900 GMT) was still unknown but there were no immediate indications the fire was deliberate.
Thielemans did not identify the Spanish police officer who was employed at the mission.
One firefighter died while several others had to be treated for smoke inhalation.
Spain's ambassador to Belgium, Claude Misson, said he and his staff deeply regretted the loss of lives during the fire.
Misson said the men were apparently trying to see if there was anyone else inside the burning building when they became trapped by either fumes or the fire.
Misson said it appears at this stage that the fire was accidental but there may be another cause and that would have to be determined by investigators.
Spain currently holds the presidency of the European Union and is the diplomatic focus of the 15-nation bloc.
The mission is located on Boulevard du Regent, a busy thoroughfare near the center of the Belgian capital.

STORYLINE:
Bolivian protesters tore down and burnt French and European Union flags flying at the French embassy in La Paz on Wednesday to express their anger at France's alleged refusal to allow President Evo Morales's plane to travel through its airspace.
Morales' plane was returning from Russia on Tuesday when it was forced to land in Austria after France and Portugal allegedly refused to let it cross their airspace due to suspicions that US intelligence worker Edward Snowden was on board.
A few dozen protesters gathered outside the French Embassy on Wednesday.
They also placed small boulders and slabs of concrete in front on the embassy gates to block the entrance - a tactic commonly seen in protests in Bolivia.
One protester hung a sign on the embassy perimeter declaring it as having been "nationalised."
A handful of riot police were present outside the embassy but they did not stop the protesters.
Many of those demonstrating held up signs denouncing France's alleged action while calling for it to withdraw from Bolivia.
"Racist France get out of Bolivia," was the chant of choice for the demonstrators.
One protester said their actions were correct because the whole country had been insulted.
"We are angry at this outrage. It is not only one person who suffered, but the whole of Bolivia," said Gumercindo Colque.
This is a justified reaction, the reaction of all the Bolivian people, we are here and more social sectors are coming together to make (people) respect our country, the state of Bolivia."
Bolivia accused the United States of ordering European countries to block Morales' flight from their airspace, and accused European governments of "aggression" by thwarting it.
However it is still unclear whether European countries did block the plane and, if so, why.
French, Spanish and Portuguese officials all said on Wednesday the plane was allowed to cross their territory.
Snowden himself remains out of public view, believed to be stuck in a Moscow airport transit area, seeking asylum from several countries.

http://democracynow.org - In a major victory for human rights activists, a Guatemalan court has returned a guilty verdict in the Spanish Embassy massacre of 1980. On Monday, the court found former police chief Pedro García Arredondo responsible for ordering an attack on 37 peasant activists and student organizers who were occupying the Spanish Embassy in Guatemala City to protest government repression. According Monday's ruling, Arredondo was the officer who gave the order to set fire to the diplomatic mission, burning the activists to death. He was also found guilty of two separate murders and sentenced to a total of 90 years in prison. One of the victims of the Spanish Embassy massacre was Don Vicente Menchú, an indigenous peasant leader and father of Rigoberta Menchú, who later won the Nobel Peace Prize. The verdict comes as former Guatemalan dictator Efraín Ríos Montt is being tried for a second time on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity in the killings of more than 1,700 Ixil Mayan people in the early 1980s. Menchú joins us from Guatemala City to discuss the historic verdict. We are also joined by filmmaker Pamela Yates, who is finishing the third documentary in her trilogy about Guatemala's internal armed conflict.

The Burning of the Spanish Embassy (sometimes called the Spanish Embassy Massacre or the Spanish Embassy Fire) refers to the January 31, 1980 occupation of the Spanish Embassy in Guatemala City, Guatemala, by indigenous peasants and their allies and the subsequent police raid that resulted in a fire which destroyed the embassy and left 36 people dead. The incident has been called "the defining event" of the Guatemalan Civil War.
In January 1980 a group of K'iche' and Ixil peasant farmers organized a march to Guatemala City to protest the kidnapping and murder of peasants in Uspantán in El Quiché department by elements of the Guatemalan Army. The peasants were joined by members of the Comité de Unidad Campesina (Committee of Peasant Unity) and a radical student organization known as the Robin García Revolutionary Student Front, groups associated with the Ejército Guerrillero de los Pobres (EGP, the Guerrilla Army of the Poor). The protesters were denied a hearing in Congress and their legal adviser was assassinated. On January 28, they briefly took over two radio stations.

"I must say that they had an heroic death in the sense that they tried to see if there were other people trapped and they could help. Apparently they couldn't get out it was the fumes probably or they were intoxicated, we will have to see the results of the medical examinations. But I mean this is what we regret most is the loss of these two people's lives. As for the material damage we will have to see the causes but it all seems to indicate that it was accidental. There could be type of other causes but we will have to see after a closer examination of the premises."
5. Various of embassy staff
STORYLINE:
A Spanish police officer and a firefighter died and several other firefighters were injured on Thursday evening in a fire at the Spanish Mission to the EU in Brussels.
Brussels Mayor Freddy Thielemans said the cause of the blaze which set the diplomatic compound alight just past 8 pm (1900 GMT) was still unknown but there were no immediate indications the fire was deliberate.
Thielemans did not identify the Spanish police officer who was employed at the mission.
One firefighter died while several others had to be treated for smoke inhalation.
Spain's ambassador to Belgium, Claude Misson, said he and his staff deeply regretted the loss of lives during the fire.
Misson said the men were apparently trying to see if there was anyone else inside the burning building when they became trapped by either fumes or the fire.
Misson said it appears at this stage that the fire was accidental but there may be another cause and that would have to be determined by investigators.
Spain currently holds the presidency of the European Union and is the diplomatic focus of the 15-nation bloc.
The mission is located on Boulevard du Regent, a busy thoroughfare near the center of the Belgian capital.

13. Tilt down from EU and French flags flying at embassy to riot police lining up at its gates
14. Wide of riot police in front of embassy
STORYLINE:
Bolivian protesters tore down and burnt French and European Union flags flying at the French embassy in La Paz on Wednesday to express their anger at France's alleged refusal to allow President Evo Morales's plane to travel through its airspace.
Morales' plane was returning from Russia on Tuesday when it was forced to land in Austria after France and Portugal allegedly refused to let it cross their airspace due to suspicions that US intelligence worker Edward Snowden was on board.
A few dozen protesters gathered outside the French Embassy on Wednesday.
They also placed small boulders and slabs of concrete in front on the embassy gates to block the entrance - a tactic commonly seen in protests in Bolivia.
One protester hung a sign on the embassy perimeter declaring it as having been "nationalised."
A handful of riot police were present outside the embassy but they did not stop the protesters.
Many of those demonstrating held up signs denouncing France's alleged action while calling for it to withdraw from Bolivia.
"Racist France get out of Bolivia," was the chant of choice for the demonstrators.
One protester said their actions were correct because the whole country had been insulted.
"We are angry at this outrage. It is not only one person who suffered, but the whole of Bolivia," said Gumercindo Colque.
This is a justified reaction, the reaction of all the Bolivian people, we are here and more social sectors are coming together to make (people) respect our country, the state of Bolivia."
Bolivia accused the United States of ordering European countries to block Morales' flight from their airspace, and accused European governments of "aggression" by thwarting it.
However it is still unclear whether European countries did block the plane and, if so, why.
French, Spanish and Portuguese officials all said on Wednesday the plane was allowed to cross their territory.
Snowden himself remains out of public view, believed to be stuck in a Moscow airport transit area, seeking asylum from several countries.

One of the victims of the Spanish Embassy massacre was Don Vicente Menchú, an indigenous peasant leader and father of Rigoberta Menchú, who later won the Nobel Peace Prize. The verdict comes as former Guatemalan dictator Efraín Ríos Montt is being tried for a second time on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity in the killings of more than 1,700 Ixil Mayan people in the early 1980s. Menchú joins us from Guatemala City to discuss the historic verdict. We are also joined by filmmaker Pamela Yates, who is finishing the third documentary in her trilogy about Guatemala's internal armed conflict.

The Embassy
The Embassy
Mentioned that he worked for the embassy
People seem to find that interesting
High status, intrigue and mystery
Special code name on the hotel registry
I love it when they say
Enjoy your stay
You see how they mean it
Cause that's the way theyve been trained
Show you to your room
A suite with a view
Well if anything at all
Do not hesitate to call
Nice the greatest the greatest
Compliments, tooth brush, tooth paste, razors
A bible, a quaran in a drawer
Or depending where you are
Tend to whisper through the walls
She was calling on God
The greatest the greatest
Salutations, congradulations,
Reservations, exclusive arrangements
Dinner with the patrons
The scenery is amazing
It's so outrageous
They whisper when they say it
When it's really real it's even realer than the matrix
Classic modern ancient flagrant
Get a special thrill everytime they get to say it
Peace
I work with the embassy
On behalf of imagination industry
I come visit
You come visit
Such a pleasure
