<html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <p>The author presents the case of Virginia Laparra, a former prosecutor from Guatemala, who is now in prison. In this short piece the author argues that Laparra's imprisonment is an example of gender-based political violence and criminalisation of those challenging impunity. This in turn contributes to the erosion of democracy in Guatemala. </p> <p> </p> </body> </html>Pages
