	Guatemala 10.508
		According to the complaint, Lissardi and Rossi were kidnapped on September 25, 1989 in the town of Tecún-Unán, in the Department of San Marcos, Guatemala, by an armed group dressed as civilians, and after a number of incidents, including mistreatment during their detention, were released through diplomatic intervention.
		There were many kidnappings in the San Marcos department, and the only persons who had succeeded in getting out alive were the claimants, thanks to their Italian nationality and diplomatic intervention in their behalf.
		That the accusers' kidnapping comes at the same time as a series of disappearances, which remain unsolved, in the San Marcos district in question; and that, indeed, the intervention of the Embassy of Italy seems to have been the cause of the release of the victims, who are nationals of that country.
