Santa Cruz Barillas, Guatemala Riots Prompts State of Siege

CORAL GABLES (LALATE) – Santa Cruz Barillas, Guatemala riots prompted a State of Siege declaration today. Santa Cruz Barillas violence caused Guatemalan President Otto Pérez Molina to issue the official declaration Thursday. The state of siege was ratified during an emergency meeting.

As many as two hundred local residents took the streets of the town to boycott a construction job. The construction site allegedly calls for the seizure of lands to which Mayan natives claim ownership. Army spokesman Rony Urizar told news that residents were armed with both homemade weapons and loaded guns.

Army officials told news that peace was restored in the town after the dispatch of nearly five hundred soldiers and almost two hundred police officers. President Molina told news today of the decree of expedited warrants to insure peace in the region.

The indigenous communities of the region have yet to comment about Molina’s ruling. They contend that the hydroelectric plant’s construction should stop and that rioting in the Huehuetenango neighboring community will continue if officials ignore their dispute.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – A KFC verdict for Monika Samaan ended with a shocking decision concerning a chicken wrap. The KFC verdict for Monika Samaan is drawing international news coverage, not just for the damage award, but also for the injuries Samaan revealed in her suit.

KFC issued a news statement this week claiming that it will appear the decision. The court awarded the family $8 million. But KFC will appeal that ruling. “This is clearly a very tragic case but we are deeply disappointed and surprised by the judge’s decision,” Sally Glover, KFC Australia’s Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, said in a news statement. ”We feel deeply for Monika and the Samaan family; however we also have a responsibility to defend KFC’s reputation as a provider of safe, high-quality food.”

Karen Berendique Shooting Murder Prompts Venezuela Outrage


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Karen Berendique shooting murder has prompted outrage in Caracas, Venezuela. Karen Berendique’s father is Fernando Berendique, Chile’s honorary consul. He tells news that his daughter was shot after she failed to stop at a police checkpoint in Maracaibo yesterday. Now, the murder is prompting demands for an investigation.

Maracaibo officials tell news that twelve police officers are being questioned. The confusion erupted on Saturday when Karen Berendique approached a police checkpoint. The 19 year old girl was in a car along with her brother and another young man.

Her father tells news that she probably believed that the checkpoint was being conducted by robbers, not police. So she didn’t stop. At that point, the police officers, angered by the failure to stop, opened fire, littering Karen Berendique’s car with a sea of bullets, instantly killing the 19 year old.

The Justice Ministry and local news reporters are denouncing the use of excessive force. They are also demanding answers for the growing use of checkpoints that many contend serve no public safety interest.

Jose Humberto Ramirez, Judicial police chief, in a news statement today called it poor police judgment to open fire on unarmed citizens. In a news statement, Berendique said of his daughter’s death “Crime is killing us, I don’t think Venezuela deserves this.” Funeral arrangements have not been announced.

Place Vendome Fire 2012 Near Ritz Hotel Today Prompts Lockdown


CORAL GABLES (LALATE) – The Place Vendome fire 2012 near the Ritz Hotel today has prompted an immediate lockdown. The La place Vendôme fire reportedly started in an underground parking structure. The area is currently under lockdown with Rue de la Paix closed.

Shortly before dinner, La place Vendôme was engulfed with smoke. The fire is said to have broken out at 17:00 (5 pm local time) in the le parking souterrain Vinci, an underground parking structure. The fire started when one vehicle caught fire on the second basement floor of the subterranean structure.

Quickly businesses were evacuated as the area went on lockdown. Sixty employees of Axa, Joailleries Boucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels and Chanel were evacuated.

There are no reports that the first was targeted at the ministère de la Justice (Ministry of Justice). Currently investigators are trying to determine what caused the car to catch fire.

Officials tell news that the fire started in a facility managed by the Hotel Ritz. The structure, reportedly, houses a series of priceless vehicles.
