Honduras Mayor Arrested for Masterminding Environmentalist's Killing The arrest of Adan Funez, the former mayor of Tocoa, Honduras, on charges of masterminding the assassination of environmental activist Juan Lopez is a stark reminder of Honduras' entrenched culture of corruption and impunity.
This incident is not an isolated event but rather the latest chapter in a long standing narrative of violence against environmental defenders.
Lopez's case serves as a poignant example of the risks faced by those who dare to speak truth to power in Honduras.
