Alegaciones de asesinato de un defensor de derechos humanos. Según la
información recibida, el 15 de marzo 2016, el Sr. Nelson García, dirigente del
Consejo Cívico de Organizaciones Populares e Indígenas de Honduras (COPINH),
fue asesinado en Rio Lindo, oeste del departamento de Cortés, de disparos en el
rostro por sujetos desconocidos. Se expresa profunda preocupación por el asesinato
del Sr. García y por la vida e integridad física de los integrantes del COPINH y
sus familiares que han sufrido una escalada en las amenazas e intimidación las
últimas semanas. La Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos había
otorgado medidas cautelares para los miembros de COPINH y se expresa
preocupación ante la falta de eficacia de estas medidas.
