Honduras: Another Indigenous Organizer with COPINH Murdered

HeadlineMar 17, 2016

In Honduras, another indigenous environmental activist has been murdered—less than two weeks after the assassination of famed environmental organizer Berta Cáceres. Thirty-eight-year-old Nelson García was a member of the group COPINH, the Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras, which Berta Cáceres co-founded 22 years ago. He was shot in the face and killed by gunmen on Tuesday in Rio Lindo, about 100 miles south of La Esperanza, where Cáceres was murdered on March 3.
