This is a video from the campaign led by the International Transport Workers Federation. You can see more background information from their website- which has a special section on the campaign for justice for Pedro Zamora.

Pedro Zamora, General Secretary of the Guatemalan STEPQ dockers' union was shot 20 times by multiple assailants who ambushed him and his children on Monday, January 15.  After firing 100 shots, one walked up to the wounded Zamora and shot him at point blank range in the face. Three-year-old Angel was wounded in the attack.  Zamora's last act had been to push the children to the floor to try and protect them. Since the murder, the five surviving leaders of the STEPQ union have received telephoned death threats, that they are subject to surveillance. Their families are also being threatened.
