The ITUC is calling on the government of Guatemala to provide immediate protection to trade union leader Carlos Mancilla and his family following a series of death threats.
On March 31, Mr Mancilla and his family members received anonymous phone calls warning that they were being watched and mentioning each person in his family by name.
The callers sent a photo of Mr Mancilla's house and said that they had followed his daughter but held back from killing her.
Mr Mancilla is general secretary of trade union centre CUS-G, president of Guatemala’s Tripartite Commission on Labor Relations and Freedom of Association and a titular member of the ITUC General Council.
