Berta Cáceres, indigenous leader of the Lenca tribe and a well-known environmental activist from Honduras, has finally achieved justice. It took six years of investigations, trials between continuous boycotts and international appeals, to also obtain the condemnation of what the Tribunal defined as the director of his murder.
Always committed against the construction of a hydroelectric dam that would have diverted the path of the Gualcarque river, considered sacred by the original populations because it is essential to their survival, Berta was murdered on the night of March 3, 2016 while she was in her home in La Esperanza.
