En solidaridad con el Pueblo Lenca

Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean (ATALC) condemns a report by the FMO regarding the Agua Zarca project in Honduras, stating it seeks to discredit community resistance and legitimize the imposition of hydroelectric megaprojects. The statement links the violence against indigenous leaders, including Berta Cáceres, and peasant organizations to unequal trade treaties with Europe and the US, and calls on the Netherlands, Finland, and Spain to cease financing projects that violate human rights in Latin America.

• ATALC rejects a report by a mission hired by the FMO (Entrepreneurial Development Bank) concerning the Agua Zarca project in Honduras, arguing that such reports attempt to discredit community actions to legitimize the imposition of projects funded by foreign bank capital.
• The document asserts that violence against activists—including the murders of Berta Cáceres, leaders of COPINH, the Lenca Indigenous Movement of Peace Honduras (MILPAH), Tolupan indigenous people, and peasant organizations in Aguan and Valle de Sula—is a consequence of unequal trade treaties with the United States and Europe.
• The statement calls upon the Netherlands, Finland, and Spain, as majority shareholders of the financiers of Agua Zarca and other dams in Honduras, to stop funding projects that violate human rights in Latin America based on their extraterritorial obligations.
• The document condemns the theft of the judicial file containing details of Berta Cáceres' murder in Tegucigalpa, describing the event as a grave obstruction of justice.
