The testimonies presented here-of abductions, clandestine detentions, and physical or psychological mistreatment and torture-comprise just a few examples of which Americas Watch is aware. Two occurred in 1992, while a third occurred during the government of Vinicio Cerezo Arévalo (1986-1991). They are presented here in detail because there have been so few survivors of clandestine detention in Guatemala willing to take the risk of making their stories public.
