A Guatemalan court on Wednesday convicted seven soldiers for their roles in the killing of six Indigenous protesters in 2012, while a colonel and another soldier were acquitted. More than a decade later, Wednesday's ruling was seen as partial justice by family members of the victims of what Guatemalans describe as the first state massacre to occur since the nation's bloody civil war ended in the '90s. On Oct. 4, 2012, hundreds of members of the Indigenous organization 48 Cantones of Totonicapan blocked a section of the Pan-American Highway, protesting high electricity costs and the closure of a teacher's college.
