“Together with ARCAH and Peace Brigades International Germany, we accompanied the German Embassy in Honduras during a visit to Rio Grande or Choluteca in Aldea Loarque, Tegucigalpa. ARCAH defenders shared about the importance of creating legislation on atmospheric pollution in Honduras and denounced the river pollution allegedly caused by the poultry company El Cortijo. From PBI, we remind you that 11 members of ARCAH have precautionary measures from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and that it is important to ensure their protection.”
The Honduran Alternative for Community and Environmental Vindication (Alternativa de Reivindicación Comunitaria y Ambientalista de Honduras, ARCAH) is a space for community articulation and an anti-capitalist, anti-racist, anti-patriarchal, anti-colonialist and anti-classist social movement that seeks to defend territories and common goods from any project that threatens the peace and cosmovision of communities.

“Together with the Committee of Relatives of the Detained and Disappeared in Honduras (COFADEH) we met with defender Berta Oliva de Nativi and PBI-Germany to talk about the importance of not forgetting what happened in Honduras in the 1980s under the Doctrine of National Security. During the visit, we shared that the proposal for the Victims Act has not yet been approved by Congress, while the State of Honduras has, among other things, the obligation to incorporate the subject into the educational curriculum, as stipulated by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the sentencing of Deras Garcia and others vs. Honduras.”
The Committee of Relatives of the Disappeared in Honduras (Comité de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidos en Honduras, COFADEH) is a human rights NGO in Honduras founded in 1982 by twelve families of disappeared Hondurans, including Bertha Oliva de Nativí, whose husband Professor Tomás Nativí was disappeared in 1981.
