Rabinal is one of eight municipalities of the Department of Baja Verapaz and is located in the central region of Guatemala. This municipality is comprised of the municipal seat or urban area, fourteen villages and sixty hamlets. In 1981 the area was predominantly inhabited by members of the Maya indigenous people belonging to the Achí linguistic community. 77 84. During the internal armed conflict, high levels of violence were recorded in the municipality of Rabinal. 78 In this regard, the CEH determined that, although Rabinal was not a combat area, the region was used as a staging point for logistical supplies, recruitment of personnel or rearguard, and that due to its geographical location, the Army considered the entire area as strategic. Therefore, it “had to be subjected to full control” and “the population of the region was identified as an internal enemy.” Between 1981 and 1983, military or paramilitary groups killed at least 20% of the population in the municipality; 99.8% of the victims recorded by the CEH were members of the Maya Achí people, a non-combatant, civilian population. 79 B.1.

On the way, the three men were stopped by a group of ten “judiciales” between the hilltop of Rabinal and the municipality of San Miguel Chicaj. The lifeless bodies of Mateo Grave and Pedro Depaz Ciprián were taken to the Salamá Hospital. 80 To date, the whereabouts of Pedro Siana’s body is unknown. 86.
