flag A Canadian judge revoked citizenship of 67-year-old Jorge Sosa over his role in Guatemala’s 1982 Las Dos Erres massacre.

flag A Canadian judge has approved the government’s request to revoke the citizenship of Jorge Vinicio Sosa Orantes, a 67-year-old former Guatemalan military officer, over his role in the 1982 Las Dos Erres massacre. flag Justice Roger Lafrenière ruled Sosa obtained citizenship through fraud by concealing his involvement in the killings, including throwing a grenade into a well filled with civilians. flag Strong documentary and testimonial evidence supported the government’s claim that he was a senior commander in a military special forces unit responsible for the attack. flag The decision makes him inadmissible to Canada and marks a significant step in holding individuals accountable for wartime atrocities committed while seeking refuge abroad.
