Honduras and Guatemala deadly for activists

Monday, September 5, 2016


An Amnesty International report released last week paints a picture of pervasive hostility toward environmental campaigners in both Honduras and Guatemala, calling them “the world’s deadliest countries for environmental activists” on a per-capita basis.

Last year eight activists working on environmental and territory issues were killed in Honduras, and 10 were killed in Guatemala.
