The Estado Mayor Presidencial (EMP) is one of Guatemala's most notorious military intelligence agencies. Since its inception in the 1980’s, the unit has been involved in serious human rights abuses, including the harassment, and extrajudicial execution of human rights defenders. President Portillo has repeatedly announced his intention to abolish the
EMP, yet failed to keep his own deadlines for its abolition.
Help shut down the
EMP! Amnesty International recently released its newest Internet "flash" movie. The movie calls on activists around the world to send a message to Guatemala's president to abolish the
EMP. View the movie and send it to your friends.
