Mayans Testify Before Chief Justice

And while Narda Garcia was in the court of appeals - the Maya of Conejo and Santa Cruz were in the Chief Justice's court. Three bus loads of Mayas came from those villages to show support as community leaders from the affected villages gave testimony before the Chief Justice. They are asserting their inhabitation and collective use of the land over centuries. Testimony was heard today from villagers as well as community leaders such as Greg Choq and Christina Coc. The hearing continues tomorrow afternoon.
