Year Sentence: Canadian Citizenship and Court Documents

year sentence: Sosa Orantes, 59, is now serving a 10-year sentence for immigration fraud in the United States, where he also held citizenship until it was revoked in 2014, according to Brandon Sun. Canada has opted to strip citizenship in only a handful of modern-day war crimes cases. Jorge Vinicio Sosa Orantes concealed his brutal role in a 1982 massacre by the Guatemalan military in obtaining Canadian citizenship a decade later, the federal government says in newly filed court documents. The bloody, decades-long conflict between Guatemalan government forces and guerrillas intensified in the early 1980s. The army would typically circle a village, seal it off, gather the people and separate men and women before killing villagers. The military junta began a ruthless campaign of destruction that wiped out 440 villages, killing over 75,000 people and displacing more than 250,000, the Canadian government says in documents filed in Federal Court.
