      State of Siege Declared After Gang Killings of Eight Police Officers - Guatemala

      Inmates watch a riot at the Men's Detention Center Fraijanes II, Fraijanes Municipality, Guatemala, January 17, 2026. Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo has declared a nationwide state of siege for 30 days following a wave of coordinated attacks against the country's National Civil Police, which left at least seven officers dead, authorities said Sunday. The emergency measure seeks to strengthen state action against criminal gangs and guarantee public security, Arevalo said, after violence erupted in connection with prison riots in which gang members took 46 people hostage at three detention centers. Arevalo also decreed three days of national mourning for the fallen officers and confirmed that authorities have regained control of the three prisons where unrest was reported.
