Mining Company Tied to Digital Smear Campaign Against Guapinol Activists

Published on Honduras Daily · Jun 13, 2026 · Originally reported June 11, 2026 by Contracorriente

A joint investigation by Contracorriente and partners documents how companies in the EMCO mining group funded coordinated social-media campaigns branding Guapinol river defenders as "fake environmentalists"—a pattern tied to the killing of three activists and the exile of more than 400 others.
