Maya Chorti

Indigenous Maya Chortí communities in Copán are filing a nullity action against Minosa's 30-year mining concession extension, arguing the company improperly invoked an automatic administrative approval (afirmativa ficta) without meeting legal requirements or consulting affected populations.

Residents of Azacualpa, Copán, elected a Maya-Chortí Indigenous Council to defend their territory against Minosa, which continues operating despite its concession expiring in 2023 and having destroyed the community's ancestral cemetery.
