English to Spanish: Guatemalan Congress approves controversial state of siege declaration General field: Other Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - English GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - Guatemala’s Congress voted overwhelmingly on Saturday to approve a temporary state of siege in six northeastern provinces, a measure designed to tighten security after several soldiers were killed by suspected drug traffickers.
The initiative passed by a vote of 88 lawmakers in favor and nine opposed in the Central American country’s unicameral legislature.
The 30-day state of siege imposes a night-time curfew in the northeastern provinces of Alta Verapaz, El Progreso, Izabal, Peten, Zacapa and Baja Verapaz, which together make up a drug-trafficking corridor that runs from Honduras to Mexican border.
Guatemala, like neighbors El Salvador and Honduras, is a hub for the trafficking of drugs from South America to the United States.
The state of siege law also gives the military new powers to arrest and interrogate suspects and prohibits organized protests in the targeted areas as well as some meetings, although it does not specify the number of people that can legally meet.
Translation - Spanish CIUDAD DE GUATEMALA (Reuters). El día sábado, el Congreso de Guatemala se pronunció mayoritariamente a favor de declarar un estado de sitio temporal en seis provincias del nordeste, una medida destinada a ajustar la seguridad luego de que varios soldados fueran asesinados por sospechosos de traficar drogas.
La iniciativa fue aprobada con 88 votos a favor y nueve votos en contra de los legisladores en la legislatura unicameral del país centroamericano.
El estado de sitio de treinta días impone un toque de queda por la noche en las provincias del nordeste como: Alta Verapaz, El Progreso,Izabal,Peten, Zacapa y Baja Verapaz, las cuales en conjunto conforman un corredor de tráfico de drogas que recorre desde Honduras hasta el límite con México.
Guatemala, al igual que sus países vecinos, El Salvador y Honduras, es un núcleo para el tráfico de drogas de Sudamérica a Estados Unidos.
La ley de estado de sitio también le concede a las fuerzas armadas nuevas facultades para arrestar e interrogar a los sospechosos, y para prohibir tanto protestas como reuniones en zonas delimitadas, aunque no especifica la cantidad de personas que legalmente se puedan reunir.
