Edgar Martín Regalado, member of the Collective in Defence of Human Rights and Communal Property of Unión Hidalgo, Mexico, was the victim of an attack with a firearm while he was travelling home on a motorbike taxi. The attacked happened just hours after participating in a press conference in the city of Oaxaca, where he spoke about the actions undertaken by the collective with the accompaniment of the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Project, A.C. (Proyecto de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales, A.C., ProDESC) against the construction and operation of the Gunaa Sicarú wind farm by the company Électricité de France (EDF) (ProDESC) against the construction and operation of the Gunaa Sicarú wind farm by the company Électricité de France (EDF). At the press conference, members of the Collective and ProDESC announced the presentation of an appeal against the Paris civil court's decision to deny the suspension of the construction of the Gunaa Sicarú wind farm project for violating the rights of the Zapotec community of Unión Hidalgo, including the right to free, prior and informed consultation. Edgar said that since they began their struggle against the installation of the wind farm, which will occupy 4,700 hectares of communal land and will be exploited for 30 years, the threats have been constant, as they regularly set fire to the land behind his home.
