Indigenous rights activist Berta Cáceres murdered in Honduras
Berta Cáceres was murdered Thursday morning after unidentified gunmen entered her home in La Esperanza, Intibucá, Honduras, according to reports.
The renowned indigenous rights activist — who won the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2015, the largest award for grassroots environmental activists in the world — would have turned 46 today.
Cáceres was a member of the Lenca people, the biggest indigenous group in the country, according to the Guardian. In the week leading up to her death, she had received multiple rape and death threats for a recent humanitarian project in the region.
