In the early 1980s, the military dictatorship of Guatemala caused a "scorched earth" rebellion involving massacres of five indigenous Maya tribes, including Maya Icil. January 28, 2013, the judge of Guatemala ordered José Efraín Ríos Montt, the man who served as President of the country from 1982 to 1983, to seek a genocide trial. He was the former head of the state who received the genocide trial in the Americas. The successor of President Oscar Megiya of Guatemala was also indicted for genocide, but it was later considered unsuitable for the trial. On March 19, 2013, the court began a trial of a lawsuit against Ríos Montt, who genocide genocide against Maya Ixir during his term from March 1982 to August 1983.
