Benedicto Lucas García
Benedicto Lucas García is a retired Guatemalan military officer who has been implicated in serious human rights violations, including genocide and forced disappearance during the Guatemalan Civil War. His legal battles have drawn significant attention, particularly after the Constitutional Court of Guatemala ordered a new trial against him, following a decision to change the tribunal overseeing his case. Lucas García is currently serving a 58-year prison sentence for the forced disappearance of a young man and the sexual assault of his sister, both of which occurred in 1981 during a period of intense military repression.
