GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - At least one person died and four were injured during protests in Guatemala, an aid worker said Monday, marking the first death in more than two weeks of continuous demonstrations demanding an orderly transition for President-elect Bernardo Arevalo.

The reform-minded Arevalo won a landslide victory in August, but since then the country's independent attorney general has intensified investigations into the election and the president-elect's Seed Movement party, which could stymie the transition.
