At least one person died and four were injured during protests in Guatemala, an aid worker said Monday, marking the first death in more than two weeks of continuous demonstrations demanding an orderly transition for President-elect Bernardo Arevalo. The reform-minded Arevalo won a landslide victory in August, but since then the country's independent attorney general has intensified investigations into the election and the president-elect's Seed Movement party, which could stymie the transition. On Monday, some 50 people carrying firearms, wooden planks and stones, tried to dissolve a protest in the town of Malacatan in western Guatemala, according to a government statement that said 11 people have been detained for their role in the violence.
