Man accused of butchering villagers fights to keep Canadian citizenship
OTTAWA — A man accused of slaughtering villagers in Guatemala using a grenade, gun and sledgehammer is fighting Canada’s attempt to revoke his citizenship.
Jorge Vinicio Sosa Orantes denies he concealed participation in a 1982 massacre by the Guatemalan military when he obtained Canadian citizenship a decade later.
In documents filed in Federal Court, Sosa Orantes says he was not even in the village of Las Dos Erres when the events took place.
