Damp;P – Caritas Canada is responding to the call from our partner ERIC-Radio Progreso to raise awareness of the tragic plight of the communities of Guapinol and the San Pedro sector. ctor. We stand with them as they defend their right to water for survival and struggle to obtain: – Justice – Reparations and protection – The cancellation of irregularly granted mining permits – The restoration of their national park
“It is urgent to cancel all mining in this area of our park. All the damage caused to our rivers and mountains must be repaired.” Daniel Márquez, Guapinol defender and former political prisoner
Let’s ask the Honduran government to better protect environmental and human rights defenders and to act for justice. Stand in solidarity.
Sign the letter to the Honduran ambassador at devp.org/act. Or sign petitions in the church.
