Scatec Solar's response to rejoinder of Network of Women Human Rights Defenders in Choluteca (RADDH)

The closure of these processes can be realized through the conciliation of the parties, having as a precedent that in 2018, Conciliation Agreements were carried out with twelve (12) of the twenty-two (22) defendants.
During the months of May and September 2021, a member of Red de Abogadas Defensoras de Derechos Humanos was formally presented with a proposal for a Conciliation Agreement in favor of ten of their clients (copy attached as Annex 1).
