Consuelo Soto's house was "peppered with bullets by unknown gunmen". Indigenous leader enjoys precautionary measures from Inter-American Court. For nearly a decade, Tolupan indigenous peoples from northern Honduras have been threatened, criminalised and killed for taking a stand against illegal logging and mining operations which have pillaged their resources without consulting communities. Several community leaders were killed since 2013, the hitmen allegedly work for a nearby mining operation in La Lagunita. One of those killed was Consuelo Soto's husband Luis de Reyes Marcía. Her community has also been embroiled in a long-standing conflict with a logging company Velomato, which was reportedly granted an illegal concession on their indigenous lands without any prior consultation.
