Together with eleven other international accompaniment and observation organizations working in Latin America, FOR Peace Presence just signed a public declaration to demand justice for the assassinations of Berta Cáceres y Nelson Noé García on March 2nd and 15th, 2016. Both were community leaders fighting for human rights in Honduras, especially land rights.
After these tragic events, we denounce the critical situation of human rights defenders in Latin America, and we request that national governments and the international community find solutions to protect these people as well as implement mechanisms to counter impunity of such assassinations.

Humanitarian Space El Mirador
On November 30th Maresz and Sophie of the FOR Peace Presence team arrived in El Tamarindo to find that the inhabitants of the plot “El Mirador” had received what turned out to be a final eviction notice. The inhabitants, farmers of Asotracampo (Asociaciones de los Trabajadores del Campo, Association of Land Workers), have been fighting for their land rights for more than eight years. In words they exchanged with the FORPP team, their surprise was mixed with a certain level of despair, not only at the notice of eviction but also with what they lived with over the last few years.
