I was quite alarmed this past weekend to read about the murder of the Guatemalan lawyer Roberto Rosenberg, which to me recalled the brutal, mafia-like slaying of Russian lawyer Stanislav Markelov.  As someone who has worked on a politically volatile case in this country for many years, whose team has received repeated death threats and kidnapping attempts, I take it very seriously when anyone who attempts to work within the legal system is deliberately targeted.  However this case suddenly got much bigger, when during his funeral a few days later, the following video was distributed in which Rosenberg himself appears to personally blame the president, the first lady, and several other government officials of plotting his murder to cover up a money laundering and fraud operation at Banrural.
