Week of Action for Justice for the People

COPINH

Gualcarque Fraud Case (español AQUI)

COPINH and the community of Río Blanco have been illegally excluded from the “Fraud on the Gualcarque” case against 16 public officials. Berta Cáceres and COPINH denounced the illegal granting of concessions and licenses to install the Agua Zarca Hydroelectric Project (PHAZ) on the sacred Gualcarque River, which is linked to the murder of our compañera in 2016.

We call on national and international organizations to be part of this Week of Action for Justice for the Peoples. 

Objective:  

That the right of indigenous communities to denounce the violation of their rights and the access of the people to justice be respected.

To achieve that the Court admits COPINH as a victim in the case and that the process does not continue until the community of Rio Blanco, represented by COPINH, is part of it. 

How can you join the campaign?

This Monday, October 12, Day of Indigenous Resistance, join the tweet for justice for the people

You can use some of these messages: 

  • Indigenous peoples continue to fight against colonialism and extractive industries that seek to plunder peoples’ ancestral territories. It is a right of the communities to be part of the processes of justice to defend their territories.
  • COPINH was illegally excluded from the case #FraudeSobreElGualcarque, against 16 public officials accused of committing crimes to illegally impose the Agua Zarca project on the sacred Gualcarque River. @PJdeHonduras must reinstate COPINH to the case. #JusticiaParaLosPueblos
  • The continuation of the trial of the fraud case without the direct participation of the victims is a violation of the right of access to justice of the people. We demand from @PJdeHonduras the immediate participation of COPINH in the case.
