CARMAN JUDITH MORAN CRUZ – Journalist

Carmen Judith Moran Cruz is a regional reporter for the news service agency, Center for Information on Guatemala (CERIGUA), in the town of Salama. On June 29th 2003 she received two death threats from an unidentified caller demanding her resignation from CERIGUA. In February, her bag containing important papers relating to her work for CERIGUA and her press identification, were stolen, an incident that may be linked to her journalistic work. CERIGUA was founded in 1983, and since then has reported on human rights issues in Guatemala.
