Nineth Varenca Montenegro Cottom (born 1958 in San Marcos, Guatemala)[1] is a Guatemalan human rights activist and a victim of state terrorism. She was the first person to face civil resistance on a national level as a result of protesting in the streets about the whereabouts of her husband, Edgar Fernando García, who had been captured illegally by the government and has been a missing person since February 18, 1984. The disappearance of her husband still remains an unsolved case, as he is considered a disappeared person.[citation needed]
She is married to Mario Polanco, the current director of GAM (Spanish: Grupo de Apoyo Mutuo). [citation needed]
