Honduras: Suspect Arrested in Killing of COPINH Activist Nelson García

HeadlineMar 28, 2016

And Honduran authorities say they have arrested a suspect in the killing of Nelson García, an activist and colleague of assassinated environmentalist Berta Cáceres. Earlier this month, less than two weeks after Cáceres was gunned down at her home, García was shot to death after returning home from helping indigenous people displaced in a mass eviction by Honduran security forces. He was a member of COPINH, the indigenous organization co-founded by Berta Cáceres. The suspect in García’s murder has been identified as Didier Enrique “Electric” Ramírez.
