Tegucigalpa, February 14 (RHC)-- In Honduras, a group of environmental defenders from the community of Guapinol have been freed after the Supreme Court threw out a case against them.  

Six people were convicted for protesting an open-pit iron oxide mine project in the northern Honduran region of Tocoa. They had been wrongfully placed in pretrial detention since 2019.  The mine is inside a national forest reserve and has polluted local rivers sacred to the community.
