Protesters clashed with Guatemalan police at a Pacific port yesterday after a night of protests over fishing territory that left a teenager dead.
Rosalio Castellanos, 14, died from bullet wounds when police fired on 500 fishermen protesting at a shrimp company's decision to fence off part of a beach the fishermen used to launch small boats.
Protesters said that by putting up the fence, Pesca, a major local employer, had prevented them from fishing, depriving them of their only source of income. Company officials would not comment.
