Tegucigalpa, Honduras - January 24, 2025 Colombian lawyer Dora Lucy Arias, a human rights defender, remembered this Friday in Tegucigalpa the Honduran environmentalist Juan López, who was murdered in 2024 in the troubled department of Colón, in the Honduran Caribbean, for opposing mining extraction and other damages. Camera: DANIEL ESPINOZA. STATEMENTS BY COLOMBIAN LAWYER DORA LUCY ARIAS. TRANSLATION: “I have a lot of reflections, but I would like to leave one in particular and that is the role of those who defend human rights. The defense of human rights is important because human rights are mechanisms to contain abuses of power and any person anywhere in the world can be a victim of abuses of power and human rights allow us to contain those abuses. Therefore, all people everywhere should be defenders of human rights, and thus, the defense of those who defend human rights is the basis of democracy, peace, justice and the rule of law”. [Restrictions: Spain, Latin America, or the U.S. Hispanic market]
