Guatemalan authorities rescued 160 children and 40 women from the Lev Tahor ultra-orthodox Jewish sect, following allegations of child abuse, including rape. The raid in Oratorio, southeast of Guatemala City, uncovered suspected child bones and followed a November complaint about forced pregnancies and mistreatment. The sect, known for strict practices, has faced legal issues globally, with leaders convicted in the U.S. and arrested in Mexico.
