Скачать или смотреть ARCAH's Christopher Castillo on the impact of SLAPPs in Honduras

On 29 March 2021, seven environmental defenders and members of the Alternative for Community and
Environmental Vindication of Honduras –
Alternativa de Reivindicación Comunitaria y Ambientalista
de Honduras (ARCAH) were detained and charged with ‘forced displacement’ following a complaint
brought by the poultry company ‘El Cortijo’. The defenders were demonstrating outside the company’s
offices concerning its activities and connection with the pollution of a local river. On 30 March 2021,
they were released and placed under house arrest. In May 2021, the environmental rights defenders
were still under house arrest awaiting trial.
