Murdered environmentalist Berta Caceres laid to rest in Honduras

A large crowd in Honduras accompanied the body of Berta Caceres to its final resting place amid calls for justice over the killing of the indigenous leader and environmental activist.

Many of those carrying her coffin on their shoulders through the dusty streets of La Esperanza were Lenca indigenous people for whose rights she had fought.

Drummers pounded out Afro-Honduran rhythms as mourners chanted “The struggle goes on and on” and “Berta Caceres is present, today and forever.”
