Honduras LIBRE Activist Murdered at Home
Published 9 January 2018
. . .
Honduras' school teacher Santos Alvarado was murdered Monday at home in the town of Montefresco de San Pedro Sula, province of Cortes.
Cordova, 53, was allegedly shot down by two unidentified hitmen after they forced one of his sons to open the main door, reported local media.
He was also a member of the main opposition party LIBRE and representative of the Opposition Alliance Against the Dictatorship during the last general elections on Nov. 26. He also played an active role in the protests denouncing electoral fraud in the last few weeks.
Violence and human rights violations have significantly risen in general during the term of right-wing President Juan Orlando Hernandez, controversially reelected.
