Indigenous Resistance

The Garífuna community of San Juan, which won a 2023 Inter-American Court ruling on territorial rights, has occupied a coastal camp called Tuba Mena after a violent police eviction on July 5, drawing indigenous and peasant groups to oppose Honduras's Agroindustrial Law.

Garífuna communities in Honduras launched sustained protests on July 15, demanding the government annul trials against five territorial defenders and repeal Decree 107-2026, which authorized the first eviction from ancestral lands in San Juan, Tela on July 5.
