Slain Activist Berta Cáceres' Daughter: US Military Aid Has Fueled Repression & Violence in Honduras | Democracy Now!
Another indigenous environmentalist has been murdered in Honduras, less
than two weeks after the assassination of renowned activist Berta
Cáceres. Nelson García was shot to death Tuesday after returning home
from helping indigenous people who had been displaced in a mass eviction
by Honduran security forces. García was a member of COPINH,
the Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras,
co-founded by Berta Cáceres, who won the prestigious Goldman
Environmental Prize last year for her decade-long fight against the Agua
Zarca Dam, a project planned along a river sacred to the indigenous
Lenca people.
