Description
The important trial against David Castillo, one of the accused co-authors of indigenous activist Berta Cáceres' murder, is underway in Honduras. Before her murder, Cáceres faced several attempts to silence her resistance. Many of the same repressive tactics used against Cáceres - criminalization, imprisonment, threats, and murder - are still employed regularly against land defenders, human rights activists, lawyers, journalists, women, and several other targeted groups in the country. Karen provides an overview of what these strategies are and what impact they have on the people that experience them. ** Correction: Berta Cáceres won the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2015, NOT in 2016 as stated in the podcastCheck out the show notes at: hondurasnow.org and follow us on Instagram: @hondurasnowFor daily summaries about the trial against David Castillo, see: aquiabajo.com/blogThanks for listening!
