Honduras is one of the deadliest countries in the world for human rights defenders, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) said on Friday after a visit to the Central American country.
Eight human rights figures were killed in the year's first four months, on pace to surpass the 17 killed in 2022, the IACHR said in a report after the visit.
Land disputes in Honduras have pitted peasant activists and other residents against large-scale agriculture, mining and hydroelectric developers.
