"Lawyer of the Poor" murdered in Honduras; Associates Threatened

Dionisio Diaz's Death Marks the First Murder in Many Years of a Human Rights Advocate in Tegucigalpa

Tegucigalpa , Honduras , 13 December 2006. Honduras is in mourning. Last Monday (December 4) it lost a great ally in the struggle for social justice and a great defender of the poor: Dionisio Díaz García was shot to death in his pickup truck while driving to court by two masked gunmen on a motorcycle. The gunmen shot Díaz in the head and chest from close range. This murder was the first time in years that a human rights advocate has been murdered in Tegucigalpa.

Since early 2006 Díaz had served as the primary labor lawyer for the Association for a More Just Society's Labor Rights for Vulnerable Populations program, which had been running since 2004.
