Choc v. HudBay Minerals Inc. - Lawsuit against Canadian mining company HudBay Minerals over the death of Adolfo Ich Chamán

On September 27, 2009, Adolfo Ich Chamán, a respected indigenous Mayan Q’eqchi’ community leader and an outspoken critic of harms and rights violations caused by Canadian mining activities in his community, was hacked and shot to death by security forces employed at HudBay Minerals’ Fenix Mining Project near the town of El Estor, Guatemala. Adolfo’s family has brought a lawsuit in Canadian courts to seek accountability for his death. The lawsuit is brought against Canadian companies HudBay Minerals Inc. and HMI Nickel Inc., as well as their Guatemalan subsidiary, Compañia Guatemalteca de Niquel (“CGN”).
