Honduras: Protesters gather in Tegucigalpa on July 18

Protesters gather outside the Supreme Court of Justice building in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, on July 18. Avoid the area as a precaution.

Warning

Activists affiliated with the Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (Consejo Civico de Oganizaciones Populares e Indigenas de Honduras, COPINH) gathered outside the Supreme Court of Justice in Tegucigalpa on July 18 to demand justice for the 2016 murder of activist Berta Caceres.

Authorities will likely monitor the demonstration. Increased security measures will also likely affect the vicinity of the protest. Localized transport and business disruptions will probably affect areas subject to heightened security. Skirmishes between demonstrators and security forces cannot be ruled out.

Avoid the protest march as a precaution. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent the demonstration and any areas subject to heightened security. If clashes break out, immediately depart the vicinity of the unrest and seek shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building. Adhere to all instructions issued by local officials.
