Honduras: another environmental movement leader murdered http://quotha.net/node/938

Adalberto was an unquestionable leader inside and outside his community, who always had an extraordinary sense of solidarity and was utterly committed to social causes. He was a directive member of our organisation; initially he was our spokesperson. He was committed to the environmental struggle and participated in most activities organised by the Environmentalist Movement of Olancho (MAO). He was the coordinator of the environmental movement in the Municipality of Guata and most recently a council member in this municipality.

In addition to the environmental struggle and his incursion into politics, he was a leader in his community as a delegate of the word of God.Today we are sad and outraged that to this day 9 environmentalist companeros have been assassinated with impunity. We have denounced these murders over and over again, but the authorities of our country do not pay any attention. We understand that behind the Honduran justice system is the power of companies who dictate the rules that must be followed and who decide who has to be persecuted.

Adalberto leaves behind a widow and four children, two girls and two boys, the oldest is 17 and the youngest is 8. Our companero did not have any enemies. This is proven by the facts of his life and his involvement in various organisations and institutions, with which he coordinated projects of community development. We know that behind his murder was a well orchestrated plan hatched by logging companies, who he was facing while defending the rights of the communities from unsustainable exploitation of forest resources in this area.
