On Friday, December 13, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Guatemala (MINEX) issued a warning to Guatemalan citizens to exercise caution when visiting or passing through the border areas of Chiapas (a Mexican state that borders Guatemala) due to the security situation that has deteriorated in recent months.
Civil society groups have reported incidents of human rights violations against migrants and other travelers in the region, and MINEX therefore advises caution when passing through these risk areas.
Japanese nationals who are visiting or passing through the border area with Chiapas are also asked to collect the latest information on the area in advance through media reports and other sources, and to act with the utmost caution.

・Victim: Guatemalan man ・Summary: According to reports, two men on a motorcycle approached a man walking and pointed a gun at him in an attempt to rob him of his valuables, but as the victim was not carrying any valuables, he was shot in the leg and injured. The perpetrators are still on the run.
Even in areas of Guatemala City that are considered relatively safe, violent crimes occur at any time of the day or night, with the number of such crimes increasing especially around Christmas and the New Year period.
If you do encounter a robber, do not resist but act with caution.
In addition, to avoid becoming involved in such incidents, avoid walking during times when there are few people around and on roads, and be sure to remain vigilant and notice any unusual behavior such as the atmosphere of the city, the number of people, or the amount of traffic congestion.
In addition, as there have been frequent incidents of people becoming victims while using a mobile phone outdoors or while carrying it in their hands, you should avoid using a mobile phone outdoors as much as possible, and even if you must use one, be sure to remain vigilant. If you do encounter an incident, please make your personal safety your number one priority.
