Dianna Ortiz

The civil case of Sister Ortiz was combined by her legal representative, the Center for Constitutional Rights, with Xuncax v. Gramajo, in which eight Kanjobal Indians had filed a US civil suit against General Héctor Gramajo, Minister of Defense in Guatemala (1987-1990) under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA).

Her protests had been preceded by those of Jennifer Harbury and members of the Guatemala Human Rights Commission, seeking US action on learning the fates of many "disappeared" in the country.
