"There is no freedom of speech, there is no freedom in this country," says a resident of Tocoa, in northern Honduras, at the wake of environmental activist Juan Lopez, 46, who was shot dead. When AFP met Juan Lopez in 2021, the activist, who fought against mining in Honduras, explained that he left his home every day fearing he would never return. He also said he has lived in fear since he began fighting mining in a mountainous region of crystal-clear rivers and dense forests in northeastern Honduras.
