TOTONICAPAN, Guatemala (AP) — Thousands of indigenous Guatemalans shouted in anger Friday and some threw themselves at the coffins of six local people who were shot to death during a protest over electricity prices and educational reform in a poor rural area.

A seventh victim died later at a hospital in the western city of Quezaltenango.

President Otto Perez Molina acknowledged that government forces had opened fire during the protest Thursday, after saying earlier that police and troops on the scene had been unarmed and the protesters had provoked the clash.

Human rights groups condemned the government's actions and charged they were part of a pattern of excessive use of force against protesters.

He said seven soldiers injured in the confrontation had said they only fired into the air to protect themselves from what they considered to be a threatening crowd.

because THAT President is a massive human rights violator, and a fellow RIGHT-WINGER. So it's more than fitting he just slaughters MORE of the indigenous Guatemalans, of whom Guatemala has ALREADY murdered more than 200,000 since the U.S. overthrew their beloved leftist President Jacob Arbenz in 1954, even using U.S. Marines to get the job done, after United Fruit (now Chiquita) started bitching about the way he ran his government to U.S. government officials, like Eisenhower's CIA Director, Allen Dulles.

Guatemala gets a lot of Revenue from Tourism and sweat-shop manufacturing.
