 | | The Constitutional Court has annulled nearly all actions to date in the Dos Erres case, in which sixteen army soldiers are accused of massacring approximately 300 people in the town of Dos Erres, Libertad, Peten, in December 1982. |
 | | The case against the sixteen army officials, undertaken by the First Criminal Court of San Benito, Peten, began in 1994, when relatives of the victims managed to obtain an order to exhume the remains of their family members from the well the soldiers had thrown the bodies into after the massacre. |
 | | The key evidence the Court has annulled includes the detailed testimonies of two Kaibiles who came forward, full of remorse, and admitted participating in the massacre, and the testimony of a youth who survived the massacred. |
