Guatemalan Man Sentenced to 6,000-Years in Prison

VOA News March 13, 2012

An ex-Guatemalan soldier has been sentenced to 6,060 years in prison for his role in the 1982 massacre of 201 people.

A court sentenced Pedro Pimentel to 30 years in prison for each of the 201 victims, plus 30 years for crimes against humanity.The sentence is largely symbolic, since the maximum prison term under Guatemalan law is 50 years. Pimentel was extradited from the United States last year to face the charges.

Four other soldiers have received similar sentences.

The horrific killings occurred in December 1982, when dozens of soldiers raided the village of Dos Erres searching for missing weapons. The soldiers then bludgeoned the villagers to death with a sledgehammer before throwing them down a deep well.

The massacre occurred during the bloody 36-year civil war that ended in 1996.

Some information for this report was provided by AP and Reuters.

Qoshasha TPLF is not too happy to see such justice, it reminds him of his wrongs against Ethiopians between 1991 and 2012. He must have a huge wrap dosier, Elias needs to make it available.

Meles confessed that he killed over 200 young Ethiopian peaceful protestors on daylight ...on the street of african union and united nation headquarter...I meant the crime is well documented..it is all matter of time the beggar to rotten in rat infested Ethiopian cell...hey what a similarity across two continent? But no man killed any human being than your ToQowara leader Mengistu hailemariam. But sadly so far he got away with it.

I am sure if there is a fair justice dispenser, Meles deserves at least 6,000 years based on his confession and the ten Supreme justices agreement. In the US there are nine judges in the Supreme Court and on almost every issue they vote 5-4 in the case of Ethiopia's supreme justices they deliberate guilty 8-2 against Meles Zenawi, and he is still in power after disbanding the supremem court justice council.
