A mob in Guatemala that had taken 29 police officers hostage freed them today. They had been holding the officers in hopes of negotiating the release of Ramiro Choc, a man who had been convicted of illegal land invasion, robbery and illegally holding people against their will. However, Choc contacted members of the mob and convinced them to let the police go free, despite not gaining his freedom. However, the government did assure the mob that they would act to assuage their concerns which led to the formation of the mob in the first place, and will consider dropping the charges against Choc in exchange for their demonstration of good faith.
