Guapinol and Sector San Pedros defenders are innocent - demand #FreedomForGuapinol.
Two years have passed since José Daniel Márquez Márquez, Kelvin Alejandro Romero Martínez, José Abelino Cedillo, Porfirio Sorto Cedillo, Orbín Nahúm Hernández, Arnold Javier Alemán, Ewer Alexander Cedillo Cruz and Jeremías Martínez Díaz - the water defenders of Guapinol and Sector San Pedro - voluntarily came forward to clarify the false accusations presented by the Los Pinares mining company and the Tocoa Prosecutor's Office.
The Court must decide today whether to release the defenders or prolong their arbitrary detention.
We demand their freedom now!
Send a message on networks:
@PJdeHonduras must comply with UN resolution & immediately end arbitrary detention of Guapinol Defenders - not prolong it as requested by @MP_Honduras. #FreedomForGuapinol.
After 2 years of illegal detention, we demand @PJdeHonduras immediate release Guapinol Defenders. Their detention for protecting water & land - at the request of @MP_Honduras & @LosPinaresHN - is arbitrary & unjust. They are innocent! #FreedomForGuapinol.

Please give them their freedom! They were only working for the good of their town, their country, trying to save the water supply for their people. They have wrongfully suffered in prison for more than two years. We ask for what is just for them: their freedom now! Thank you.
