Rigoberta and her comrades continued these actions until she was eventually forced to flee to Mexico in 1981 for fear of ending up like her family. In Mexico she was able to meet up with other family members, grieve her losses, and also set her sights on helping all the Indigenous people in Guatemala. She traveled to Nicaragua and the United States to speak with other Indigenous leaders about what to do. She returned to Guatemala, twelve years after her initial absence, and upon doing so, she was immediately arrested. With her fears rising again, she fled for a second time.
