Jennifer Harbury
Jennifer K. Harbury (born 1951) is an American lawyer, author, and human rights activist.
She has been instrumental in forcing the revelation of the complicity of the United States CIA in human rights abuses, particularly in Guatemala and other countries of Central America during the 1980s and 1990s. Initially she was trying to discover the fate of her husband Efraín Bámaca Velásquez, a Mayan guerrilla leader who was "disappeared" in March 1992.
The death of her husband at the hands of the army in 1993 was revealed, together with CIA complicity in Guatemala Army human rights abuses. As a result of her efforts, Congress forced the end to a CIA program . In 1998 President Bill Clinton ordered the declassification of decades of documents related to US activities in Guatemala and other Central American countries, and apologized for US contributions to human rights abuses there while on an official visit to Guatemala.
==Early life and education==
Harbury grew up in Connecticut, graduating from Cornell University and Harvard Law School. Afterward she worked at a small legal aid clinic on the Texas-Mexico border. Among her clients in the early 1980s were Guatemalan Mayans who emigrated to Texas to escape from the death squads that were conducting genocide against them during the long civil war of their home country. Ignorant of the true political situation, US immigration denied refugee status to many and forced them to return. Harbury went to Guatemala to see firsthand what was going on.
