Protest leader and current COPINH General Coordinator leader allegedly was beaten up at a protest demanding investigation into death of Bertha Caceres. Consejo Civico de Organizaciones Populares e Indígenas de Honduras – COPINH (Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organisations of Honduras) has been active for over 20 years campaigning for the defence of the territory and rights of the Lenca people and the organisation has led fierce campaigns against illegal logging and mega-projects for their detrimental effects on the rights of indigenous peoples in the country, notably Agua Zarca.
