"An indigenous leader opposed to the production of palm oil was killed Friday outside a Guatemalan court that a day earlier ordered the closure of a factory he had led protests against.
'We deplore the murder of the activist Rigoberto Lima Choc,' a spokesman for the National Union of Hope party (UNE) told AFP.
The victim, 28, was shot outside a local court in Sayaxche, about 500 kilometers (300 miles) north of the capital, by two men on a motorcycle."
